In the following question, a statement of assertion followed by a statement of reason is given. Choose the correct answer out of the following choices:

Assertion: Alcohols are dehydrated to hydrocarbons in the presence of acidic zeolites.

Reason : Zeolites are porous catalysts.

Both assertion and reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

Acidic zeolites are as catalysts in petrochemical industries. An important zeolite catalyst used in the petroleum industry is ZSM-5. It converts alcohols directly into gasoline by first dehydrating them so that a mixture of hydrocarbons is formed.

Zeolites are porous catalysts having sieve-like structure.
