Which of the following molecules has a zero dipole moment?

Given below are two statements:
Statement-$I$: Since fluorine is more electronegative than nitrogen,the net dipole moment of $NF_3$ is greater than $NH_3$.
Statement-$II$: In $NH_3$,the orbital dipole due to lone pair and the dipole moment of $N-H$ bonds are in opposite direction,but in $NF_3$ the orbital dipole due to lone pair and dipole moments of $N-F$ bonds are in same direction.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate from the options given below.

Match the following:
List-$I$ (Molecule)List-$II$ (Dipole moment in $D$)
$A. HCl$$I. 1.07$
$B. NH_3$$II. 1.85$
$C. H_2O$$III. 0.23$
$D. NF_3$$IV. 1.47$
The correct answer is

The cyanide ion,$CN^{-}$ and $N_2$ are isoelectronic. But in contrast to $CN^{-}$,$N_2$ is chemically inert because of
