I > II > III
III > I > II
III > II > I
I > III > II
Explanation

Baric nature depends on the tendency of donating the lone pair.
In (I) st amine lone pair of N atom is not in resonance. So it can easily donate the lone pair.
In (II) amine lone pair of N atom is in resonance. So, lone pair is not available.
In (III) amine lone pair of N atom is not in resonance so lone pair can be easily donated.
So, (I) and (III) are more baric compare to (II).
In (I) amine N atom is connected to sp2 hybridised carbon atom and in (III) amine N atom is connected to sp3 hybridised carbon atom.
We know sp2 carbon atom has more $$-$$ I effect than sp3 carbon atom.
So, in (I) amine density of electrons around N atom will decrease due to $$-$$ I effect and basic nature also decrease.
So, correct order of basic nature : III > I > II
