The correct answer is: $4 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{~T}$

$\begin{aligned} \overrightarrow{\mathrm{dB}} & =\frac{\mu_0 \mathrm{I}}{4 \pi} \frac{(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{d} l} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}})}{\mathrm{r}^3}(\text { Tesla) } \\ & =\frac{10^{-7} \times 10 \times\left(\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{100}\right)(+\hat{\mathrm{k}})}{\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^3}=4 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{~T}(+\hat{\mathrm{k}})\end{aligned}$
