NEET levelSingle correct optionDifficulty 1 of 3nc111

Which of the following is the strongest base in aqueous solution?

A $NH X_{3}$
B $C X_{6} H X_{5} NH X_{2}$
C $CH X_{3} NH X_{2}$
D $(CH X_{3}) X_{2} NH$

Answer: D

In water the methylamines follow the order

(CH X_{3}) X_{2} NH > CH X_{3} NH X_{2} > (CH X_{3}) X_{3} N > NH X_{3}

, and aryl amines are weaker than ammonia. Hence dimethylamine is the strongest base in the set.
