For a heterogeneous catalytic reaction

A Free energy of activation is lowered in the presence of catalyst, which remains unchanged at the end of reaction
B A relatively small amount of catalyst can cause the conversion of large amount of reactants which does not mean that catalyst concentration is important
C The catalyst does not form an intermediate complex with the reactant
D The surface of the catalyst does not play an important role during reaction

Correct Answer: Free energy of activation is lowered in the presence of catalyst, which remains unchanged at the end of reaction
