The correct answer is: (B)<(A)<(D)<(C)

The basic nature of amines can be explained on the basis hybridisation. The basic nature order is sp3>sp2>sp. If the lone pair on nitrogen involved in resonance, then it is less basic than others. In the molecules A, B and D, the nitrogen is sp2 hybridised. In the pyrrole molecule the lone pair on nitrogen involving in conjugation to get aromaticity. Hence, C is most basic and B is least basic.
