Based on the student's investigation, the object with the largest splash size is object X, ranked as 4. Therefore, the object with the largest mass is most likely object X.
To determine which object most likely has the greatest mass, we can refer to the information provided in the table. The ranking of splash size suggests that the higher the rank, the larger the splash, indicating that objects with greater mass cause larger splashes.
From the table, we can observe that object Y has the highest splash size ranking of 1, which means it causes the largest splash. Therefore, object Y most likely has the greatest mass.
