Clearly the answer is water. The reason has to do with the 'viscosity' (viscosity = resistance to flow) of the three fluids:

Water: low viscosity ─► marble moves quickly
Syrup and Shampoo: high viscosity ─► marble moves slowly
Also look into 'Reynolds numbers':

The more viscous (thick) the liquid is, the more slow the marble will be.
So it will be fastest in water, then shampoo and then syrup (assuming shampoo is thinner than syrup)

may be water but you can do simple experiment to find that,, bring a stopwatch and try to drop marble spheres in a column of your liquid and you will find out
