The best approach to determine the boiling point of water from multiple trials is:

D. Take the average of the results from all four trials.

This option accounts for any small variations in measurement that can occur and provides a more accurate representation of the boiling point. It minimizes the effects of outliers and random errors, leading to a more reliable result.
