Solution
The correct option is C Albumin
Starch is digested by salivary amylase in mouth into disaccharide maltose. Small intestine secretes enzyme maltase which digests it into glucose.
Enterokinase helps in conversion of inactive trypsinogen to active trypsin. This trypsin will then breakdown protein and polypeptide into smaller subunits. Albumin is a globular protein which is acted upon by the activated trypsin and broken down into peptides. Amino acids are product of digestion of peptides by intestinal enzyme peptidases
So, the correct answer is 'Albumin'
