Out of the following molecules,which one represents a polar molecule?

Charges $-q$ and $+q$ located at $A$ and $B$,respectively,constitute an electric dipole. Distance $AB = 2a$,$O$ is the midpoint of the dipole and $OP$ is perpendicular to $AB$. $A$ charge $Q$ is placed at $P$ where $OP = y$ and $y >> 2a$. The charge $Q$ experiences an electrostatic force $F$. If $Q$ is now moved along the equatorial line to $P'$ such that $OP' = \frac{y}{3}$,the force on $Q$ will be close to: $\left( \frac{y}{3} >> 2a \right)$
