Solution

The correct option is B 10mC
Note that the maximum charge the capacitor can charge to will be CV, after infinite amount of time.
Why?
As you can clearly see from the following equation of charging a capacitor in a RC circuit,
q=CV(1etRC)
Thus the maximum charge in this capacitor will also be, Q=CV
Q=10×103×1 C=102C=10 mC.
