Ans is 1,4 dichloro benzene..each C-Cl bond has dipole moment.in case of 1,2 dichloro benzene angle between these two C-Cl bond moment is 60 degree,in case of 1,3 it is 120 degree and finally in case of 1,4 it is 180 degree..so according to vector sum rule in case of 1,4 these two moment will cancel out each other but not in other case..so 1,4 compound has zero dipole moment...Hope it will help
