A)              

B)

C)              

D)

Correct Answer: C

Aromatic amines are far less basic than ammonia and aliphatic amines. \[2{}^\circ \]amines are more basic than \[1{}^\circ  and 3{}^\circ \] amines. Among the \[2{}^\circ \] amines, [b] & [c], [b] is less basic since lone pair of electrons on nitrogen atom is contributed towards the aromatic sextet formation. Hence [c] is correct.
