Solution

The correct option is D
458968 lies between 458967 and 458969 .

Zero is the smallest whole number and it is not a natural number.

0 is the predecessor of 1. So the whole number 1 has a predecessor.

The successor of 99 is 100, which is a three digit number. So, the successor of a two digit number is not always a two digit number.

By comparing the numbers, we can see that 458967 < 458968 < 458969. So, 458968 lies between 458967 and 458969.
