The answer is 10^-6 m

A step-by-step solution is below:

The volume of the oil is 10^-10 m^3. The radius of the oil film is 10^-1 m. The thickness of the oil film is the volume divided by the area. The area of a circle is pi * r^2. The thickness of the oil film is 10^-10 m^3 / (3.14 * 10^-2 m^2) = 10^-6 m.
