Answer:

acidity

Explanation:

benzene sulphonyl chloride (BSC) is a Lewis acid and hence abstracts the lone pair of amine nitrogen.

primary amine has two hydrogen atoms hence it can react with BSC giving one hydrogen.

secondary amine also can do so.

but it is the tertiary amine which is unable to react with BSC as it lacks hydrogen.
