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

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Basic strength of amines depends on the availability of the lone pair on Nitrogen.(II) -Nitroaniline: The group is strongly electron-withdrawing ( and effect), which significantly reduces the electron density on Nitrogen, making it the weakest base.(I) Aniline: Standard reference.(III) -Toluidine: The group is electron-donating ( and hyperconjugation), which increases the electron density on Nitrogen, making it the strongest base among the three.Increasing order: II (Nitro) < I (Aniline) < III (Toluidine).
