Solution

The correct option is B
Maltase and peptidase

During digestion, starch is partially transformed into maltose by the pancreatic or salivary enzymes called amylases, maltase is secreted by the intestine which converts maltose into glucose. Pepsin is secreted in stomach, trypsin is secreted in small intestine. Trypsin converts protein to peptides and pepsin converts protein to peptones whereas lipase helps in digestion of fats. Peptidase converts peptides to amino acids.
