    1) A methyl group consists of a carbon bonded to three hydrogen atoms

    Explanation:

    This is the answer your teacher probably expects.

    Technically, however, all three are correct.

    2) A C atom is slightly more electronegative than an H atom, so a methyl group is slightly polar. The polarity is so small that we usually call the methyl group nonpolar.

    3) The C atom is at the negative end of the group dipole, but the charge is so small that we usually consider it to be zero.
