Shape-selective catalysis is a reaction catalysed by:

AZeolites
Correct Answer
BEnzymes
CPlatinum
DZiegler-Natta catalyst

Solution

The catalytic reaction that depends upon the pore structure of the catalyst and the size of the reactant and product molecules is called shape-selective catalysis.
Zeolites are good shape-selective catalysts because of their honeycomb-like structures.
Zeolites are being very widely used as catalysts in petrochemical industries for cracking of hydrocarbons and isomerisation. An important zeolite catalyst used in the petroleum industry is ZSM-5.
