Solution

The correct option is B Alkaline and acidic
Amylopsin is a pancreatic enzyme that converts starch to sugar. It is most active in an alkaline pH. Rennin functions best in an acidic environment and loses its activity when pH is higher than 7. So, the correct option is 'Alkaline and acidic'.
