If a machine produces $150$ items in one minute, how many would it produce in $10$ seconds?

$\textbf{(A)}\ 10 \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ 15 \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 20 \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ 25 \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 30$
1. Determine the number of items produced per second by the machine. Since the machine produces 150 items in one minute (60 seconds), we can calculate the production rate per second as follows:
   \[
   \text{Items per second} = \frac{150 \text{ items}}{60 \text{ seconds}} = 2.5 \text{ items/second}
   \]

2. Calculate the number of items produced in 10 seconds by multiplying the production rate per second by 10:
   \[
   \text{Items in 10 seconds} = 2.5 \text{ items/second} \times 10 \text{ seconds} = 25 \text{ items}
   \]

Therefore, the machine will produce 25 items in 10 seconds.

The final answer is \(\boxed{25}\).
