Solution

The correct option is B
Diver

Integer are whole numbers which are in negative direction also. On the right side of zero we have positive integers and on the left side of zero we have negative integers.
Depth of $8 m$ represents $- 8$ on the number line
Depth of $5 m$ represents $- 5$ on the number line.
Height of $100 m$ above sea level represents $+ 100$ on the number line
Now we need to check which number lies in between the three of them on the number line.
$- 8$ will be the leftmost from all the three and $100$ will be the right most, So $- 5$ will be in between the other two.
Hence (B) is the correct option
