Solution

The correct option is C Hydrogenation
A Catalyst is a substance which accelerates the rate of a chemical reaction without undergoing any change in its chemical composition or mass during the reaction. A catalyst accelerates the rate of a reaction by lowering the activation energy.

Fe, Co and Ni have valuable catalytic properties in the process involving hydrogenation due to large surface area and variable valency. Thus Ni is used for the hydrogenation of vegetable oils to vegetable fats.
