    HI

    Explanation:

    The smallest molecular dipole moment among st the given option is for HI.

    Perhaps, the correct order of dipole moment for the molecules given is

    HI < HBr< HCl
    Since, The order of electronegativity of of halogen are

    F>Cl>Br>I

    I has the least electronegativity hence, the pull it applies on the elcetrons of the combining atom is least and hence, the least dipole moment.
