Final answer:

Sound travels through water the fastest at the highest temperature provided, which is 25 C, due to increased particle movement.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sound travels at different speeds through various mediums and is affected by the temperature of the medium. Evidence shows that sound travels faster in warmer conditions due to increased energy and movement of particles. Therefore, among the temperatures listed, sound will travel fastest through water at 25 C since it is the highest temperature option provided. This principle also explains why sound travels faster in solids than in liquids, and faster in liquids than in gases, since particle density and energy interactions facilitate quicker sound transmission in denser mediums.
