Solution

The correct option is A Amylase
Saliva contains the enzyme, salivary amylase. This enzyme breaks the bonds between the monomeric sugar units of disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and starches. The salivary amylase breaks down amylose and amylopectin into smaller chain of glucose, called dextrins and maltose.
So, option B is the correct option.
