starch into glucose

none of them

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The enzyme that converts starch into maltose is amylase. Maltose is a disaccharide made up of two glucose units, whereas starch is polysaccharide made up of amylose and amylopectin. Amylase degrades glycosidic bonds.
Detailed explanation-2: -Amylases digest starch into smaller molecules, ultimately yielding maltose, which in turn is cleaved into two glucose molecules by maltase.
Detailed explanation-3: -An amylase (/ˈæmɪleɪs/) is an enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of starch (Latin amylum) into sugars. Amylase is present in the saliva of humans and some other mammals, where it begins the chemical process of digestion.
