          Answer & Explanation
         Answer: A) nonpolar, with a symmetrical distribution of charge         
         
Explanation: CF4 is tetrahedral.
Since the four 'F' atoms have the same electronegativity values, there is no bias in electron distribution toward any one.
 
Therefore, electron/charge distribution is symmetrical, which also means that the molecule is nonpolar.
 
Hence, CF4 is nonpolar molecule with a symmetrical distribution of charge.
