Solution

The correct option is A CH3NH2
Between H3C¨NH2,F3C¨NH2,H3¨NH2 is more basic than F3C¨NH2 because CH3 group is an electron donating group so shows posetive inductive effect and donates electron density to nitrogen which makes lone pair on nitrogen more destabilished and are available for reaction .but CF3 group is an electron density from nitrogen as it shows negative inductive effect and so lone pairs on nitrogen are not available for reactions.
