    The answer is (3). CF4 is tetrahedral, so you can consider it to be kind of spherically balanced. 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.
