Answer»

Correct answer is (b) Zeolite

Easy EXPLANATION: The ZEOLITES used in catalytic cracking are chosen to GIVE high percentages of hydrocarbons with between 5 and 10 carbon atoms – particularly useful for petrol. The zeolite catalyst has sites which can remove a hydrogen from an ALKANE TOGETHER with the two electrons which bound it to the carbon.
