Solution

The correct option is D
$- 102$

Step:Explanation for correct option.
option-(D): $- 102$
The predecessor of an integer: The integer which comes immediately before a particular integer, is called its predecessor.
So, the predecessor of $- 101$ $= - 101 - 1$ ( $∵$ By subtracting $1$ from an integer, we get its predecessor)
$= - 101 + (- 1)$ ( $∵$ In subtraction, we add the additive inverse of the number to be subtracted)
$= - 102$
Therefore, the correct answer is $- 102$
