Detailed Solution

In basic media, it means there will be an attack by a proton and the aniline is protonated to an anilinium ion.

C6H5NH2aniline+protonationC6H5NH3+anilinium ion

Anilinium ion, due to the positive charge on it, shows an -I effect, so it will not remain like O and P-directed towards strong acid. It will behave as meta-directing as the -I effect is more on ortho(O) and para (P) positions and less on meta positions, so when an electrophile attacks, it attacks faster on meta - position.
