Understand the types of reactions listed: Addition, Hydrolysis, Condensation, and Polymerization.
Recognize that polymers are large molecules made up of repeating units called monomers.
Identify that the breakdown of a polymer into its monomer units involves the cleavage of chemical bonds.
Recall that hydrolysis is a reaction where water is used to break chemical bonds, often splitting larger molecules into smaller ones.
Conclude that hydrolysis is the type of reaction that involves breaking down a polymer into monomers, as it uses water to cleave the bonds between monomer units.
