Based on the ranking of the splash sizes, object Y has the smallest splash size (ranking 1), and object W has the largest splash size (ranking 4). Generally, larger splashes are produced by objects with greater mass, assuming similar shapes and materials.
Given this information, the object that most likely has the greatest mass is object W, as it created the largest splash.
