- AStomach : Fats $\stackrel{\text { Lipase }}{\longrightarrow}$ micelles
- BDuodenum : Triglycerides $\underset{\text { Trpsin }}{\longrightarrow}$ monoglycerides
- Correct answerCSmall intestine : Starch $\underset{\sim \text { Amylase }}{\longrightarrow}$ Disaccharide (Maltose)
- DSmall intestine : Proteins $\stackrel{\text { Pepsin }}{\longrightarrow}$ Amino acids

Amylase digests complex starch (polysaccharide) molecules into smaller, simpler maltose (disaccharide) molecules.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
