Solution

The correct option is C Hydrolysis
Condensation reaction is a reaction in which two reactants combine together to form a single product with the formation of simple molecules like H2O, CO2, etc. A simple example of condensation is the formation of a peptide bond from two amino acids. The reverse of condensation reaction is the hydrolysis in which chemical entity is split into two parts through action from the polar water molecule, which itself splits into hydroxide and hydrogen ions.
