Solution

The correct option is C starch, dextrin and maltose

Some of the starch is not fully digested as the enzymes that help in starch digestion are inactivated by HCl. The undigested starch is then digested in the duodenum. Therefore the chyme would consist of Starch, Maltose and Dextrin before it enters the duodenum.
