Correct answer: B. High pressure & temperature
- A. Low pressure & temperature
- B. High pressure & temperature
- C. High pressure and low temperature
- D. High temperature and low pressure
Explanation
Hydrocracking combines catalytic cracking with hydrogenation, so it requires elevated temperature and especially high hydrogen pressure. The high pressure also suppresses coke formation and saturates cracked fragments.
