Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
About 30% of starch is hydrolysed in the oral cavity by the action of salivary amylase into a disaccharide- maltose. Sucrase hydrolyses sucrose into glucose and fructose. So, the assertion is correct but the reason is incorrect.
