Solution

The correct option is B $N H_{3} > P H_{3} > A s H_{3} > S b H_{3}$
All the hydrides of group V elements have one lone pair of electrons on their central atom. Therefore, they can act as Lewis bases. The basic character of these hydrides decreases down the group.
so order is:
$N H_{3} > P H_{3} > A s H_{3} > S b H_{3}$ .
