Correct Answer: Diethylamine


Solution : The correct option is Diethylamine.

Diethylamine is the strongest base, followed by triethylamine, ethylamine, and ammonia. The basicity of amine compounds can be influenced by steric hindrance and solvation effects. Diethylamine's basicity is due to its bigger size, and lower steric hindrance as compared to triethylamine, making it a stronger base in an aqueous solution.
