The correct answer is: $\frac{k}{10000}$
The Bulk modulus $k$
$$
k=-\frac{p}{\Delta V / V}
$$
Where, $p=$ Pressure
$$
\begin{aligned}
\Delta V &=\text { Change in volume } \\
V &=\text { Volume of liquid }
\end{aligned}
$$
From (i)
$$
\frac{p}{k}=-\frac{\Delta V}{V}=\frac{\Delta p}{p}
$$
$\Rightarrow \quad p=\frac{k \Delta p}{p}$
$$
\begin{aligned}
\Delta p &=0 \cdot 01 \%=0 \cdot 01 / 100 \\
p &=\frac{k}{10000}
\end{aligned}
$$
