Solution

The correct option is B

-1 and +1


Observe a number line.

In negative numbers, as magnitude increases, value decreases.
Therefore, the largest negative integer is -1.

Similarly, in positive numbers, as magnitude increases, value increases.
Therefore, the smallest positive integer is 1.
