Complete step-by-step answer:
A Successor operation is also known as zeration. It is also known that a successor is a number obtained by adding 1 to the given number.

In the above diagram in the number line the numbers \[5\], \[6\], \[7\] are marked. Now we want to find the successor of number \[5\], Successor of number \[5\] is obtained adding \[1\] to \[5\] so if we add \[5 + 1 = 6\], like this the successor of \[6\] is \[7\] likewise adding \[1\]. Thus the successor direction is always towards the right of the whole number or natural number.
\[\therefore \] The successor of a given number is always located on the right side of a given number on the number line.

So, the correct answer is “Option B”.

Note: Successor is simply known as number towards right to the given number. A successor is which is next to the given number.
