Detailed Solution

The velocity of the light will be maximum in a vacuum.
The speed of light is inversely proportional to the material's refractive index. So, the lower the value of the refractive index of a medium higher will be the speed of light in that medium. Among all the given mediums, the vacuum has the lowest refractive index. Hence, the speed of light will be maximum in a vacuum.
