What is dehydration synthesis?
A
Joining molecules together by removing water
B
Breaking molecules apart by adding water
C
Joining molecules together by adding water
D
Breaking molecules apart by removing water
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Dehydration synthesis involves the formation of new chemical bonds between two molecules which leads to the formation of new compounds. A reaction occurs with the loss of water molecules at each step. The loss of water molecules can occur due to reactions between two functional groups like –OH, -NH2 or –COOH.

Detailed explanation-2: -This type of reaction is known as dehydration synthesis, which means “to put together while losing water. ” It is also considered to be a condensation reaction since two molecules are condensed into one larger molecule with the loss of a smaller molecule (the water.)

Detailed explanation-3: -Also known as a condensation reaction or a dehydration reaction, dehydration synthesis occurs when two molecules are joined by removing water. This allows for the creation of a larger molecule from two smaller molecules.

Detailed explanation-4: -Dehydration synthesis refers to the formation of larger molecules from smaller reactants, accompanied by the loss of a water molecule.
