Expert Solution
Step 1

 there are three Cl atoms in CHCl .The Cl atom is more electronegative than carbon it means the electrons shared between the bond will be will be attracted towards the Chlorine atom, and then bond will show polar nature whereas the C-H bond is non polar as the C and H atom does not show more  electronegativity difference. And overall it is an covalent compound.

so 1st option is correct✅ that is polar covalent.
