Explanation:
Whole Numbers:
Whole numbers are the set of numbers that include all the natural numbers and zero.
Natural numbers are the set of numbers that start from 1 and go on infinitely.
Predecessor:
A predecessor of a number is the number that comes just before a given number.
For example, the predecessor of 5 is 4.
Answer:
The whole number that does not have a predecessor is 0.
Explanation:
Zero:
Zero is a unique number that has no predecessor or successor. It is the only number that is neither positive nor negative.
When we count, we start with 1, not 0. Therefore, 0 does not have a predecessor.
For example, the predecessor of 1 is 0, but there is no predecessor of 0.
Conclusion:
Therefore, option 'B' (0) is the correct answer as it is the only whole number that does not have a predecessor.
