  1. A
    II < III < I
  2. B
    III < I < II
  3. C
    III < II < I
  4. D
    II < I < III

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Basicity of amines depends on the availability of the lone pair on nitrogen.Electron-withdrawing groups (EWG) decrease basicity, while electron-donating groups (EDG) increase it. (in II) is a strong EWG (), significantly reducing basicity. (in III) is an EDG (, hyperconjugation), increasing basicity compared to aniline.Increasing order: -nitroaniline (II) < Aniline (I) < -toluidine (III).
