In aqueous solution, which pair shows the correct basic-strength order?

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

In aqueous solution, the ortho effect lowers the basicity of o-toluidine relative to aniline, including poorer solvation of its conjugate acid. Hence aniline > o-toluidine. Pyridine is more basic than pyrrole, whose nitrogen lone pair is part of its aromatic sextet, so is reversed.
