The correct increasing order of basic strength for the following compounds is:

- AII < III < I
- BIII < I < II
- CIII < II < I
- DII < 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).
