dilution factor

A solution of NaOH has a pH of 10. 10mL of this solution is mixed with 990mL of water. The pH of the diluted solution is closest to:

A. 8
B. 9
C. 11
D. 12


I know that the dilution factor is 10/990 so approximately 100x diltuon....so doesnt that mean that the pH has to be 12? but the answer states that it should be 8

[H3O+]= 10-10

NaOH ---> Na+ + OH-

[OH-] = 10-14/10-10 = 10-4

C1V1=C2V2

10-4 * 0.01 = C2 * 1.00

C[OH- new solution]= 10-6

[H3O+] = 10-14/10-6

pH = -log[10-8]
