Solution

The correct option is C Mouth and small intestine
Potato is rich in carbohydrates. The digestion of carbohydrates starts in the mouth itself. The salivary gland produces saliva which contains salivary amylase. This enzyme breaks down starch into simple carbohydrates (maltose). There is no digestion of carbohydrates in the stomach. Further digestion of carbohydrates takes place in the intestines with the help of pancreatic and intestinal enzymes.
