Solution

The correct option is A $(C H_{3})_{2} N H > C H_{3} N H_{2} > (C H_{3})_{3} N$
In aqueous solution, inductive effect, solvation effect (H-bonding) and steric hindrance all together affect the basic strength of substituted amines.

Basic character:
$(C H_{3})_{2} N H > C H_{3} N H_{2} > (C H_{3})_{3} N$

$2^{0}$ $1^{0}$ $3^{0}$
