The Se=C=Se molecule is non-polar because

A

the bonds in the molecule are all non-polar

B

the bonds in the molecule are polar but their effect on the overall polarity is cancelled by the effect of lone pairs in the valence shell of the carbon atom

C

the bonds in the molecule are polar but their effect on the overall polarity is cancelled by the fact that they are equal in magnitude and oppositely directed

D

the bonds in the molecule are polar but the polar effect is cancelled by the resonance hybrids which distribute the charge evenly.
