Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

Since in aromatic amines the lone pair undergoes delocalisation, aliphatic amines are more basic than aromatic amines.
Ph-NH2<R-NH2
In an aliphatic amine, due to the +I effect of -CH3 the order will be 3°>2°>1°.
In an aqueous solution, H-bonding takes place. So, the order will be 1°>2°>3°.

However, the resultant basic order is due to a mixture of both the effects(+I and hydrogen bond). So, the order is 2°>3°>1°

So, the final basic order is
