Detailed Solution

(a) For elements in the same periodic group, the larger the basic site atom the more spread out (delocalized) is the charge and the weaker is the base. Thus, I- is a weaker base than F-. Alternatively, HI is stronger acid than HF, the conjugate base follows the reverse order. 

(b) H2O is a stronger acid than NH3 , thus, the conjugate base OH- is weaker base than NH2

( c) Electron-attracting inductive effect of -OH decreases the electron density on N and thus decreases the basicity of -NH2 . 

(d) In Cl3C:, the unshared electron pair of the carbon in the p orbital undergoes extended p-d 1t bonding into an empty d orbital of each of the three Cl atoms:

Resonance stabilization makes a more dominating role than the inductive effect, making Cl3C-weaker base than F3C-. In F, there is nod orbitals, hence, no stabilization occurs in F3C-.
