The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion

Digestive mechanism of Herdmania is similar to that of higher group of animals due to possessing several enzymes used in digestion. In Herdmania, the liver secretes a yellowish-brown digestive fluid into the stomach, it has many enzymes, an amylase which splits carbohydrates into maltose, a protease which breaks down proteins and a weak lipase which probably acts on fats. And also secretion of pyloric gland probably has an accessory digestive function similar to that of pancreas. So, the correct answer is 'Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion'.
