Its confusing here. Pyridine does not use its lone pair in delocalization, and C has an electron withdrawing O atom. Both seem to be like almost stable.

In C the lone pair is in the sp3 orbital but in B the lon pair is in sp2 orbital. Hence the lone pair in B is less available for protonation. Hence it is less basic than C

I've already answered why C is more basic than B. its due to percentage s-character.

Happines is like a butterfly;
the more you chase it,
the more it will elude you,
but if you turn you attention to other things,
it will come and sit softly on your shoulders... |
