The correct answer is:
$1 \times 10^{-12}$
$\left[\mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{O}^{+}\right]=1 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{~L} \mathrm{~L}^{-1}$
or $\left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right]=1 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{~L}^{-1}$
As for distilled water $\left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right]=\left[\mathrm{OH}^{-}\right]$
$$
\begin{aligned}
& {\left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right]=\left[\mathrm{OH}^{-}\right]=1 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{~L}^{-1}} \\
& \mathrm{~K}_w=\left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right]\left[\mathrm{OH}^{-}\right]=10^{-12} \mathrm{~mol}^2 \mathrm{~L}^{-2}
\end{aligned}
$$
or $\left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right]=1 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~mol} \mathrm{~L}^{-1}$
