The correct statement regarding the basicity of arylamines is

Options

A. arylamines are generally more basic than alkylamines because of aryl group.
B. arylamines are generally more basic than alkylamines because the nitrogen atom in alkylamines is sp-hybridised.
C. arylamines are generally less basic than alkylamines because the nitrogen lone-pair electrons are delocalised by interaction with the aromatic ring `pi`-electron system
D. arylamines are generally more basic than alkylamines because the nitrogen lone-pair electrons are not delocalised by interaction with the aromatic ring `pi`-electron system.

Answer

C

Explanation

Due to nitrogen lone pair of electrons are delocalized by interaction with the aromatic ring `pi`-electrons.
