C Correct answer
Explanation

Dehydration synthesis (also called condensation) joins amino acids by removing a water molecule between them, forming peptide bonds that create polypeptide chains and enzymes. Oxidation involves electron loss, denaturation unfolds proteins, and hydrolysis breaks them down.
