Explanation:

Hydrolysis is a reaction where a compound is broken down by reacting with water. In the given reaction, water (\(H_2O\)) is used to break the bond in the reactant molecule, resulting in two product molecules. Dehydration synthesis and condensation reactions involve the removal of water to form a bond (opposite of what is shown here). Phosphorylation involves the addition of a phosphate group, which is not depicted in the reaction.

Answer:

hydrolysis
