D
dehydrogenation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Dehydrogenation is the process by which hydrogen is removed from an organic compound to form a new chemical (e.g., to convert saturated into unsaturated compounds). It is used to produce aldehydes and ketones by the dehydrogenation of alcohols.

Detailed explanation-2: -The reaction in which oxygen is added to a substance or hydrogen is removed from a substance, is called oxidation reaction. Q. Oxidation can be defined as the removal of hydrogen atoms from a molecule.

Detailed explanation-3: -In chemistry, dehydrogenation is a chemical reaction that involves the removal of hydrogen, usually from an organic molecule. It is the reverse of hydrogenation. Dehydrogenation is important, both as a useful reaction and a serious problem.

Detailed explanation-4: -Oxidation: The addition of oxygen to a substance or removal of hydrogen from a substance is known as oxidation. Example-Hydrochloric acid gets oxidised by the removal of hydrogen to form chlorine gas.
