Best answer

The correct option is: (c)

Explanation:

Aniline is weaker base than ammonium chloride. In NH4CI or aliphatic amines, the non-bonding electron pair of N is localized and is fully available for coordination with a proton. On the other hand, in aniline or other aromatic amines. the nonbonding electron pair is delocalised into benzene ring by resonance.

But anilinium ion is less resonance stabilised than aniline.
