Which mechanism permits increased ethylene production from naphtha cracking?

A)Catalytic surface lowered activation energy✓

B)Increased pressure shifts equilibrium yields

C)Thermal decomposition favors methane output

D)Quenching reactions inhibits polymerization

💡 Explanation

A catalyst provides an alternate reaction pathway involving adsorption; because the catalytic surface facilitates bond breaking via lowered activation energy through adsorption, therefore reaction rate greatly increases, rather than shifting of equilibrium constants.
