The predecessor of a natural number is the number that comes immediately before it in the set of natural numbers. Natural numbers are the set of positive integers starting from 1 (i.e., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ...).

Since 1 is the smallest natural number, there is no natural number that comes before it. Therefore, the predecessor of 1 does not exist in the set of natural numbers.

Answer: D. Does not exist
