Solution : The correct option is Amylase.
The enzyme found in human saliva is known as "amylase." Amylase is in charge of converting complex carbohydrates like starches and glycogen into simpler sugars like maltose and glucose. This enzymatic process is one of the first steps of carbohydrate digestion, which happens in the mouth when food is chewed and combined with saliva.
