Solution

The correct option is B Hydrolysis of sucrose in presence of dilute hydrochloric acid
Hydrolysis of sucrose in the presence of dilute hydrochloric acid is an example of homogenous catalysis. Here, the reactants, products, and catalysts are all in the same phase (aqueous phase).
$sucrose (aq) dil HCl (aq) - ------ \to glucose (aq) + fructose (aq)$
In heterogeneous catalysis, two or more phases are present. For example, in the hydrogenation of oil involves catalyst in the solid phase, hydrogen in gaseous state and oil in the liquid phase.
