To arrange the numbers on the number line, we start with the most negative number, which is -1.45. Then we move to the right to the next smallest number, which is -1.25. Finally, we move to the right again to the smallest number of the three, which is -0.175. Therefore, the correct order is -1.45, -1.25, -0.175, which is option B.
