The correct answer is: 14.14 mV
Given that, input AC voltage,



Comparing Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get $\omega=10^5 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}, V_{\max }=20 \mathrm{mV}=20 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~V}$
The $V_i$ is distributed across $R$ and $C$. by $V_R$ and $V_C$, as phasor diagram.
Reactance of capacitor,
$$
X_C=\frac{1}{\omega C}=\frac{1}{10^5 \times 10^{-8}} \Omega
$$

$$
=10^3 \Omega=1000 \Omega
$$
$\therefore$ Now, impedance of $R$ - $C$ series circuit.
$$
Z=\sqrt{R^2+X_C^2}=\sqrt{(1000)^2+(1000)^2}=1000 \sqrt{2} \Omega
$$
Now, voltage across capacitor,
$$
\begin{aligned}
V_C & =V_0=\frac{X_C}{Z} V_{\max }=\frac{1000}{1000 \sqrt{2}} \times 20 \mathrm{mV} \\
& =\sqrt{2} \times 10 \mathrm{mV} \\
& =14.14 \mathrm{mV}
\end{aligned}
$$
