Solution

The correct option is C
Between A and C
In A , the nitrogen is sp2 hybridised, as compared to nitrogen in C which is sp3 hybridised.
More the s character, more is the electronegativity, and lesser is the tendency to donate lone pair of electrons.
In B :
The lone pair on nitrogen is delocallized and not fully available for donation making it less basic .
Since C has the least s character and no delocalisation , so it is the most basic compound
