Step 1 of 6
Here we have to find out which is stronger base among the given molecules.
It is known that the relative acidity depends on the following two factors:
1. Atomic size
2. A Stronger base has weaker conjugate acid.
a. 
Here the bases 
The conjugate base of the strong acid is less basic, thus
