    The one which is least basic is

    A)  \[N{{H}_{3}}\]    

    B)  \[{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}N{{H}_{2}}\]

    C)  \[{{({{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}})}_{3}}N\]   

    D)  \[{{({{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}})}_{2}}NH\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Presence of electron withdrawing group like Ph group decreases the electron density of nitrogen and hence, the lone pair of nitrogen are not available for donation.                   Thus, \[({{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}})\] is least basic because of the presence of three electron withdrawing \[Ph({{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}})\] groups.
