To determine which substance is most likely in the baker's pot at a temperature of 15 °C, we can analyze the temperature ranges of each substance as provided in the graph.

- **Water**: Solid from -40 °C to 0 °C, liquid from 0 °C to 100 °C, gas above 100 °C. (At 15 °C, water is liquid)
- **Coconut Oil**: Solid from -40 °C to 25 °C, liquid from 25 °C to 230 °C, gas above 230 °C. (At 15 °C, coconut oil is solid)
- **Butter**: Solid from -40 °C to 35 °C, liquid from 35 °C to 100 °C, gas above 100 °C. (At 15 °C, butter is solid)
- **Sugar**: Solid from -40 °C to 185 °C, liquid from 185 °C to 300 °C. (At 15 °C, sugar is solid)

At 15 °C, the only substance that is liquid is **water**.

Hence, the answer is:

**A. water**
