Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Basic character depends upon the availability of lone pair of N atom for donation. Presence of electron donating group like -R, increases the electron density at N-atom and thus makes its lone pair more available for donation.
Aromatic amines are generally less basic because of the involvement of lone pair of nitrogen in delocalisation. Thus, the correct
`C_(6)H_(5)NH_(2)ltNH_(3)ltC_(6)H_(5)CH_(2)NH_(2)ltC_(2)H_(5)NH_(2)lt(C_(2)H_(5))_(2)NH`
