Step 1: Concept The mass of a substance is calculated by multiplying the number of moles by its molar mass.
Step 2: Meaning The chemical formula for water is $\text{H}_2\text{O}$. The molar mass is $2(1.0) + 16.0 = 18 \text{ g/mol}$.
Step 3: Analysis Given moles $= 0.25 \text{ mol}$.
$\text{Mass} = \text{moles} \times \text{molar mass} = 0.25 \times 18$.
Step 4: Conclusion $0.25 \times 18 = 4.5 \text{ g}$.
Final Answer: (C)
