    The correct option is D, Amylases.

    Explanation:

    Carbohydrates are one of the most essential biological molecules required by an organism's body. They are actively found in fruits, vegetables and dairy products.

    The digestion of carbohydrates takes place as soon as the food is taken in by an organism. The saliva in the mouth contains enzymes known as amylases which are involved in the breakdown of carbohydrates. The amylases in the saliva breakdown the starch components of the food.
