Answer: No one. All these molecules are nonpolar.
Explanation: Dipole-dipole attractions occur only between polar molecules. To know if a molecule is polar, you have to observe if their dipole moment (μ) is different from 0. You can do this by observing the vectors of charge in each molecule.
In all the molecules of the alternatives, the overall molecule is nonpolar (the sum of the vectors is equal to 0). So, these molecules are attracted only by induced dipole forces (weak forces that exist between nonpolar molecules).
For F2, this molecule is nonpolar because is composed of equal atoms. So, there isn't an atom which pulls the charge for itself.
