As we have learnt,

Dipole moment of Hydrides of Halogens is given as 

\mathrm{HF>HCl>HBr>HI}

This is governed by the electronegativity difference between the halogen and hydrogen

It is to be noted that the dipole moment is also a function of the bond length which can too sometimes dominate. So, it remains a fact based quantity.

Therefore, option (1) is correct.
