Assertion: Pancreatic amylase digests starch to maltose.Reason: Pancreatic amylase breaks the peptide bond of protein. A. Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.B. Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.C. Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.D. Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect.

The correct answer is C. Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.

Explanation:

Assertion: Pancreatic amylase digests starch to maltose.

This is correct. Pancreatic amylase is an enzyme produced by the pancreas that breaks down starch (a polysaccharide) into maltose (a disaccharide).
Reason: Pancreatic amylase breaks the peptide bond of protein.

This is incorrect. Pancreatic amylase does not act on proteins or peptide bonds. Instead, it specifically breaks down starch. The enzyme that breaks peptide bonds in proteins is called protease (such as trypsin and chymotrypsin, which are also produced by the pancreas).
Therefore, while the assertion is correct, the reason given is incorrect.
