Solution

The correct option is A Amylase
An amylase is an enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of starch into sugars. Amylase is present in the saliva of humans and some other mammals, where it begins the chemical process of digestion. Bile juice is secreted by liver. Pepsin and trypsin are produced in small intestine.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
