Detailed Solution

Light will move faster in water than kerosene and turpentine.
Speed is inversely related to the refractive index. Light travels faster in that medium which has a lower refractive index. For example, the refractive index values of turpentine and kerosene are greater than that of water. So, the light will move faster in water.
