- "The correct statement regarding the basicity of arylamines is :
A. Arylamines are generally more basic than alkylamines because of aryl group.
B. Aryl amines are generally more basic than alkylamines because the nitrogen atom in arylamines is 𝑠𝑝 hybridised.
C. Aryl amines are generally less basic than alkylamines because the lone pair of electrons of nitrogen are delocalised by interaction with the pi electrons of the aromatic ring.
D. Aryl amines are generally more basic than alkylamines because the lone pair of electron of nitrogen are not delocalised by interaction with the pi electrons of aromatic ring.
E. Aryl amines are generally weaker bases than alkylamines due to electron withdrawing nature shown by aryl group.
