Solution:

Recall 10^n (where n is a positive integer) is the smallest (n + 1)-digit number. For example, 10^1 = 10 is the smallest 2-digit number, 10^2 = 100 is the smallest 3-digit number, etc. Therefore, 10^100 is the smallest 101-digit number, i.e., it has 101 digits (including repetitions).

Answer: C
