Hydrolysis typically refers to the chemical reaction between water and minerals, particularly in the context of chemical weathering of rocks. Therefore, the correct answer is:
**b. a chemical reaction between water and minerals in rock**.
During hydrolysis, water interacts with minerals, leading to changes in the mineral structure and the formation of new minerals as well as dissolved ions.
