Just to be sure, I have attached (I hope it makes it through) a
screenshot of the rule you should have on your LAN interface. You
should have a similar one on OPT1 with the source and destinations
reversed.

Looks right to me. If your firewall rule is correct and you're still
receiving no ping response then you'll need to check a couple things.

1. Is the receiving host set to respond to pings? i.e., no Windows
firewall preventing it?
2. Do both hosts know that pfsense is the gateway and the default
route? If 10.0.1.100 receives a ping from 10.0.0.200 and wants to
respond, it has to know where to route the response. Because
10.0.0.200 is not on its subnet (and you haven't given it a static
route), it will send its response via the default route, so this needs
to be the OPT1 interface of pfsense. If you have dhcp service enabled
on OPT1 and your OPT1 hosts are getting their address via dhcp, then
this is already happening.
3. If you don't want OPT1 to be the default route for the hosts on
that subnet, then you must arrange static routes for those hosts, or
enable outbound NAT from LAN to OPT1.
