1. Basicity is inversely proportional to electronegativity.

2. Basicity is inversely proportional to the stability of the negative charge.

i) is most unstable due to the three +I effects which will destabilise the negative charge, So it will be most basic in nature.

iv) will be second-most unstable, it will be second most basic among these.

the order which matches is: 1) v < iii < ii < iv < i 

We do not compare ii, iii and v without checking the data of pka value.

Hence, option number (1) is correct.
