We know that the natural numbers are


1,2,3,4,\ldots\ldots\ldots\ldots

Whole numbers are


0,1,2,3,4,\ldots\ldots

And the integers are


\ldots\ldots-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,\ldots\text{..}

where the integers left to zero are called negative integers and right to zero are called positive integers.

So as we can see the highlighted integers are left to zero

So the correct answer is negative integers.
