trigonal planar
You need to look at the molecular geometry using VSEPR theory in order to answer this question. If you do so, you'll find that one of the molecules is both planar and symmetric within that plane. That's the non-polar compound. (In other words: I've given you a hint; do your own homework.) the hint is about BCl3 but it has a net dipole so it is also polar.

Yes, each B-Cl bond is polar. but the molecule is having trigonal planar geometry and is a non-polar molecule.
BCl3 is non-polar. The B-Cl bonds are polar but the molecule is not. You should review shapes of molecules. Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion, VSEPR. Applying VSEPR on BCl3, we can find out that the shape of the molecule is trigonal planar. Due to its geometry, the bonds cancel out.

The correct answer is:BH3 sp2BeCl2 spPCl5 sp3dNH3 sp3SF6 sp3d 2Type your answer here...
B forms 3 bonds (has 3 valence electrons) and is sp2 hybridized, so the molecule is trigonal planar, which is symmetrical. P can form 5 bonds (has 5 valence electrons), and in PCl3 has a free electron pair which makes the molecule non-symmetrical.

I don't think BCl4 is even a POSSIBLE molecule since boron has only three valence electrons; perhaps you mean BCl3 (which is nonpolar)?
there is only one answer for BCl3 and that is trigonal planer
