Which mechanism explains increased ethylene production in catalytic cracking?

💡 Explanation

Increased ethylene results from surface adsorption and reaction enabled by the Langmuir-Hinshelwood reaction; the catalyst provides an alternative reaction pathway, because reactants adsorb onto its surface facilitating bond breakage and ethylene formation, therefore A is correct rather than altered reaction rates in the bulk phase.
