The formula for calculating the output impedance of a noninverting amplifier with negative feedback is:

Zout_f = (A + 1) * Zout / (A * (1 + Vin/Vout)^2 - 1)

Where A is the open-loop gain of the op-amp, Zout is the op-amp's output impedance, Vin is the input voltage and Vout is the output voltage. In this case, we can assume that Vin is equivalent to Vout, since the noninverting amplifier has unity gain (i.e. Av = 1 + Rf/Ri). Therefore, Vin/Vout is equal to 1.

Plugging in the given values, we get:

Zout_f = (200,001) * 100Ω / (200,000 * (1 + 1)^2 - 1)
Zout_f = 10 mΩ

Therefore, the answer is option c) Zout_f = 10 mΩ.
