A

Arylamines are generally more basis than alkylamines because the nitrogen lone-pair electrons are not delocalized by interaction with the aromatic ring $π$ electron system.

12%

B

Arylamines are generally more basic than alkylamines because of aryl group.

16%

C

Arylamines are generally more basic than alkylamines, because the nitrogen atom in arylamines is sp-hybridized
