The correct statement regarding the basicity of arylamines is :-

1. A. Arylamines are generally less basic than alkylamines because the nitrogen lone-pair electrons are delocalized by interaction with the aromatic ring electron system.
2. B. Arylamines are generally more basic than alkylamines because the nitrogen lone-pair electrons are not delocalized by interaction with the aromatic ring electron system.
3. C. Arylamines are generally more basic than alkylamines because of aryl group.
4. D. Arylamines are generally more basic than alkylamines, because the nitrogen atom in arylamines is sp-hybridized.
