    To start you must know that KOH is a base not an acid, so the solution is basic.

    Now you can calculate the pH from these two equations:

    1) pOH = - log [OH-]

    2) pH + pOH = 14 = > pH = 14 - pOH

    1) pOH = - log (0.01) = 2

    2) pOH = 14 - 2 = 12

    Then, the answer is the option 4, the solution is basic with a pH greater than 7 (in fact, by definition a basic solution has pH greater than 7).
