Question

The correct statement regarding the basicity of arylamines is:

• A. Arylamines are generally more basis than alkylamines because the nitrogen lone-pair electrons are not delocalized by interaction with the aromatic ring $\pi$ electron system.
• B. Arylamines are generally more basic than alkylamines because of aryl group.
• C. Arylamines are generally more basic than alkylamines, because the nitrogen atom in arylamines is sp-hybridized
• D. Arylamines are generally less basic than alkylamines because the nitrogen lone-pair electrons are delocalized by interaction with the aromatic ring $\pi$ electron system.
