The correct order of increasing basic nature for the bases $N{H_3},\,C{H_3}N{H_2}$ and ${(C{H_3})_2}NH$ is
A$C{H_3}N{H_2} < N{H_3} < {(C{H_3})_2}NH$
B${(C{H_3})_2}NH < N{H_3} < C{H_3}N{H_2}$
C$N{H_3} < C{H_3}N{H_2} < {(C{H_3})_2}NH$
D$C{H_3}N{H_2} < {(C{H_3})_2}NH < N{H_3}$

C$N{H_3} < C{H_3}N{H_2} < {(C{H_3})_2}NH$
c In general, amines are more basic than ammonia.
Reason : The alkyl groups donate electrons to the nitrogen atom by +I effect Among the amines, secondary amines are more basic than primary amines.
Reason: In secondary amines there are more alkyl groups so there is more electron density on the nitrogen atom as compared to the primary amine.
