I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the option that states that must be nonpolar. H2, N2, O2 molecules are nonpolar molecules. <span>Nonpolar molecules have "balanced" pulls: one end has the same electron affinity value as does the other end. </span>

Answer: The correct option is A.

Explanation: The given molecules are the molecules of same element.

These molecules are considered as diatomic species.

Polar molecules are the molecules in which some polarity is present in the bond. These molecules are formed when there is some difference in the electronegativities of the elements. Example: HCl

Non-polar molecules are the molecules where no polarity is present in the bond. These molecules are formed when there is no difference in the electronegativities of the elements. Example: $H_2, O_2$

The given molecules are non-polar in nature.

Hence, these molecules must be non-polar. So, the correct option is A.
