To join with water
B
To split with oil
C

D
To join with oil.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Hydrolysis literally means reaction with water. It is a chemical process in which a molecule is cleaved into two parts by the addition of a molecule of water. One fragment of the parent molecule gains a hydrogen ion (H+) from the additional water molecule.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hydrolysis of water is decomposition reaction as water decompose into oxygen and hydrogen due to electric current being passed through water.

Detailed explanation-3: -In a hydrolysis reaction, a larger molecule forms two (or more) smaller molecules and water is consumed as a reactant. Hydrolysis ("hydro” = water and “lysis” = break) involves adding water to one large molecule to break it into multiple smaller molecules.
