Catalytic cracking is an important process in the oil industry where petroleum vapour passes through a low-density bed of catalysts, which causes the heavier fractions to 'crack' producing lighter more valuable products.

It also produces high proportions of branched alkanes and aromatic hydrocarbons like benzene.

So, C is the correct answer.
