Solution

The correct option is C Small intestine.: Starch $α - a m y l a s e \to$ Disaccharide (maltose)
During digestion, starch is partially transformed into maltose by the pancreatic or salivary enzymes called amylase; maltase secreted by the intestine then converts maltose into glucose.
So, option D is the correct option.
