Answer:
B.Lone pair in pyrrolidine ring is localized and, therefore, is expected to be more reactive.
Explanation:
There are two nitrogen atoms bearing lone pairs of electrons in the structure of nicotine as shown in the image attached.
One nitrogen atom is found in the pyrrolidine ring. The lone pair on this nitrogen atom is localized hence it is more reactive than the lone pair of electrons found on the nitrogen atom in the pyridine ring which is delocalized a shown in the image attached to this answer.
