Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
About 30% of starch is hydrolyzed in the oral cavity by the action of salivary amylase, rest of starch is digested in the small intestine by the action of amylase present in the pancreatic juice. Pancreatic amylase converts the starch (simple sugars held in chains) present in chyme into glucose. So, the assertion is true while the reason is wrong.
