What is a condensation reaction?
A
Breaking of a hydroxyl bond
B
Formation of a hydroxyl bond
C
Formation of a water molecule
D
Removal of one water molecule
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In organic chemistry, a condensation reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which two molecules are combined to form a single molecule, usually with the loss of a small molecule such as water. If water is lost, the reaction is also known as a dehydration synthesis .

Detailed explanation-2: -A condensation reaction is a reaction in which a water molecule is formed, usually in bond making, for example, carbohydrates in making glycosidic bonds. Condensation reactions also occurr in protein synthesis. Where long polymers of amino acids are joined by peptide bonds.

Detailed explanation-3: -In this condensation reaction, an oligosaccharide (sugar molecule) known as a glycan binds to the nitrogen atom of a protein molecule and produces a water molecule in the process.
