Solution

The correct option is B False
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.
When we move from right to left the numbers keep decreasing. So when we move left from $- 1$ we get smaller numbers. For example $- 2$ which is less than $- 1$
Hence the statement is False
