Solution

The correct option is B
-4

As per the question, we have to find a number which 5 less than 1.

So, we need to subtract 5 from 1.

1 - 5 = -4

So, -4 is 5 less than 1.

Also, as we can see from the number line below, if we start from 1 and move 5 units to the left of 1 on the number line, we reach the number -4.
