This reaction creates polymers.
A
dehydration synthesis
B
hydrolysis
C
cellular respiration
D
photosynthesis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Polymerization reactions are good examples of dehydration synthesis reactions in which monomer units condense together to form polymers. Formation of disaccharides from monosaccharides in carbohydrates, the formation of lipids with one glycerol and three molecules of fatty acids are examples of dehydration synthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Dehydration synthesis occurs when two molecules or compounds are joined to form a larger molecule following the removal of water. Dehydration synthesis is sometimes referred to as a condensation reaction or a dehydration reaction.

Detailed explanation-3: -Dehydration synthesis leads to the formation of polymers from small monomers where monomers are combined together by the removal of small molecules such as water. Dehydration reaction results in the formation of a covalent bond.
