Hint: Use the information, ${\log _b}a = c \Rightarrow a = {b^c}$.

We know that, ${\log _b}a = c \Rightarrow a = {b^c}$ So ${\log _{10}}0.001 = - 3 \Rightarrow 0.001 = {10^{ - 3}}$. Hence Option D is correct.
Note: Base of the log and the value inside the log, cannot be negative. Otherwise log will give imaginary values.
