Detailed Solution

The Shape-selective catalysis is the term for a catalytic process that is influenced by the pore structure of the catalyst and the sizes of the reactant and product molecules

Zeolites' honeycomb-like features make them effective shape-selective catalysts.

ZSM-5 is a significant zeolite catalyst employed in the petroleum sector. Alcohols are instantly converted into gasoline by it (petrol)

Zeolites are utilised in the petroleum sector to directly convert alcohol to hydrocarbon by dehydrating it. Zeolites are porous catalysts, but that isn't why they're used to turn alcohol into gasoline

Hence the correct option is B.
