the correct ans is C.
the basicity of compound depend on its tendency of holding more electrons on basic group itself.
here,
in III; N has its lone pair and two CH3 groups are exerting +I effect. thus increasing the e- density on NH
I; due to two two NH group there is resonance and e-s are moving. none of both has complete hold of it. there is +i effect also.
II; CH3CH2 has less +I effect on the present NH2 group.
IV; O is more electronegative than N. so it pulls the electrons towards itself through reso. forming double bond N==C and single bond O---C. IT IS LEAST BASIC.
therefore, III>I>II>IV.
