Detailed Solution

Concept- We will find no predecessor in the first natural number, where no predecessor means that the number is not a natural number. Predecessor of a number is 1 less than a number, while the successor is 1 more than the number.
Natural numbers are 1,2,3,4,5..................n.
1 is the first natural number. Therefore, it will not have a predecessor because predecessor of any number x=x-1.
And 1-1=0
Therefore, 1 will be a number that has no predecessor.
Hence, the correct answer is option 3.
