Which statement best describes why industry uses heterogeneous catalysts?

Heterogeneous catalysts are in a different phase from the reactants, so they are often easy to separate from the reaction mixture and reuse. They also tend to be stable under reaction conditions, making “They tend to be more stable” the best choice. They work by providing a surface that helps lower the activation energy, not by forming stronger bonds between reactant molecules.
