Which of the following statements most accurately explains why triethylamine is a stronger base that  1-aminohexane?

a. 1-aminohexane is a stronger acid than triethylamine because of hydrogen bonding.
stronger acid=weaker base. help

b.  triethylamine has no acidic protons, so it must be the stronger base.

c. triethylamine has three inductive electrons donating groups compared to 1-aminohexane's one. the EDG's destabilize the lone pair on N. Less stable lone pair=stronger base

d. The conjugate acid of 1-aminohexane i resonance-stabilized, while that of  triethylamine is not.
more stable conjugate acid=weaker base.
