Arrange the following in decreasing order of their values

The reaction of amines with mineral acids to form ammonium salts shows that these are basic in nature. Amines have an unshared pair of electrons on nitrogen atom due to which they behave as Lewis base
Basic character of amines can be better understood in terms of their Kb and pKb, Larger the value of Kb or smaller the value of pKb , stronger is the base.
The order of basic strength in case of methyl substituted amines and in aqueous solution depends on inductive effect ,steric effect and solvation effect.
Hence, the correct basicity order is
secondary amines >primary amines> tertiary amines
Hence, is less basic than .
Therefore, pKb value is more for .
C and D are less basic than A and B due to the presence of phenyl group in C and D which causes -I effect.
But C is more basic than D due to lesser steric hindrance.Hence, the pKb value is more D
So, the correct order of pKb values is
