The correct answer is: $15 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~N}$
Viscous drag acting on sphere is given by
$\begin{aligned} F_V & =6 \pi \eta r V \\ & =6 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 0.8 \times \frac{10^{-3}}{2} \times 2 \\ & =15.08 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~N} \\ & \simeq 15 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~N}\end{aligned}$
