Solution

The philosopher who argued that matter was composed of or convertible to water was Thales of Miletus. However, from the given choices, none of them made this argument. Thales is not listed as an option.

Anaxagoras, Hippocrates, Empedocles, and Archimedes all made significant contributions to philosophy and science, but none of them argued that all matter was composed of or convertible to water.

Anaxagoras proposed that everything is composed of infinitesimally small particles; Hippocrates is known as the father of medicine; Empedocles proposed that all matter is composed of four elements: earth, air, fire, and water; and Archimedes made significant contributions to the understanding of the principles of physics, particularly buoyancy.
