A Correct answer
Explanation

If milk = 100, water = 20. Total mixture = 120. Water percentage = (20/120) * 100 = 16.66%.

AI explanation

Assume the initial volume of milk is 100 units, meaning the added water is 20 percent of this, or 20 units. The total volume of the new mixture becomes 120 units. The percentage of water is calculated by dividing 20 by 120 and multiplying by 100, yielding 16.66 percent.
