A
Hydration synthesis
B
Hydrogen bond
C
Hydrolysis reaction
D
Dehydration reaction
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -hydrolysis: A chemical process of decomposition involving the splitting of a bond by the addition of water.

Detailed explanation-2: -: a chemical process of decomposition involving the splitting of a bond and the addition of the hydrogen cation and the hydroxide anion of water.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hydrolysis breaks the bonds of polymers by the addition of water. The opposite can also occur, where the monomers are built up to a polymer through the process of dehydration synthesis. Dehydration synthesis is the removal of water to bind monomers together to form a polymer.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hydrolysis is a common form of a chemical reaction where water is mostly used to break down the chemical bonds that exists between a particular substance.
