Answer
Correct option: B.
Carbon tetrachloride
b Due to its symmetrical structure, carbon tetrachloride $\left( CCl _4\right)$ is non - polar. Its non-polar nature makes it a suitable solvent for dissolving non-polar compounds. Carbon tetrachloride is convenient as a solvent for $NMR$ because it contains no protons, however, its poor dissolving power limits its usefulness.
