Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation

The formula to calculate the dilution factor when using concentrations is DF = \(\frac{C_1}{C_2}\), where C\(_1\) is the initial concentration of the stock solution and C\(_2\) is the final concentration of the diluted solution. 

 Dilution factor= \(\frac{0.1}{0.001}\) = 100
