Maximum pKb value is of 

  • A

    Figure

  • B
    CH3CH22NH
  • C
    CH32NH
  • Correct answer
    D

    Figure

Solution

Maximum pKb (least basic) is (d) since, lone pair on
N-atom is used to delocalise π -electrons on two benzene
rings.

Figure

Least basic has maximum value of pKb.

Since, in (d), lone pair of electrons over N-atom are delocalised to two benzene rings, thus is least basic.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
