Answer:

b. 2-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the slope of the line, between 0-2 and 4-6 the slope is only 10, but between 2-4 the slope is 20, so that's when the temperature is changing the fastest. In the same time it took for the water to increase by 20 degrees between 0-2 and 4-6, the temperature of the water increased by 40 degrees between 2-4 so that's when the change is the fastest.
