The correct statement regarding the basicity of arylamines is

• Arylamines are generally more basic than alkylamines because the nitrogen lone pair electrons are not delocalized by interaction with the aromatic ring pi-electron system

• Arylamines are generally more basic than alkylamines, because of aryl group

• Arylamines are generally more basic than alkylamines because the nitrogen atom in arylamines is sp-hydridized.

• Arylamines are generally more basic than alkylamines because the nitrogen atom in arylamines is sp-hydridized.
