Hemolysis refers to which process?

Explanation:
Hemolysis is the rupture of red blood cells, with the contents of the cells (notably hemoglobin) released into the surrounding fluid. This distinguishes it from other processes: destruction of platelets would be a different term (platelet destruction), inflammation of blood vessels is vasculitis, and increased red blood cell production refers to erythropoiesis.
