In A, in chlorobenzene cl is attached to a sp2 hybridization so here c-cl bond has less dipole movement when compared to chlorocyclohexane.

I agree with you but how you will explain this See if it is so for chlorobenzene then why not valid for nitrobenzene

To decide the dipole moment, we have three factors.... Induced effect is one of them. When we see the order NO2>CN>COOH>F>CL.....so in nitro benzene, NO2 Is such a strong electron withdrawer that benzene acts as a n electron donater....where as in clbenzene... Cl is not that much powerful absorber so benzene partially absorbs electrons.....

option C is the correct option because nitro group in the strongest electron withdrawing group but in the benzene due resonance benzene pulls electrons back where as there is no problem with nitro cyclohexane it with draws electrons more easily hence dipole movement is more.
OPTION  C IS CORRECT
