The correct answer is: Degradation

The other options are not directly related to the breakdown of chemical compounds: - Dilution refers to the process of reducing the concentration of a substance by adding more solvent. - Defoliation refers to the process of causing leaves to fall off plants. - Desiccation refers to the process of drying something out or removing moisture from a substance.
