Solution

The correct option is D $C_{6} H_{5} N H_{2} < (C_{2} H_{5})_{3} N < N H_{3} < C_{2} H_{5} N H_{2} < (C_{2} H_{5})_{2} N H$
Electron donors are bases. Electron withdrawing groups (eg, benzyl) decrease the basicity of amines and Electron donating groups (eg, alkyl) increase the acidity of amines.
so correct order is
$C_{6} H_{5} N H_{2} < (C_{2} H_{5})_{3} N < N H_{3} < C_{2} H_{5} N H_{2} < (C_{2} H_{5})_{2} N H$
Hence D is correct answer
