B 3, 2, 1
C 2, 3, 1
Correct Answer
D 2, 1, 3
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Aromatic amines are weaker bases than nonaromatic cyclic amines because the lone-pair electrons on nitrogen are delocalized over the aromatic ring. Compound (3) is a stronger base than aniline because of the electron-releasing substituent on the ring.

Hint

How does electron delocalization affect basicity of aromatic amines?
