D. zymase

Answer

A

Explanation

The enzyme which converts maltose to glucose is maltase. During digestion, starch is partially transformed into maltose by pancreatic or salivary enzymes called amylases, maltase secreated by the intestine then converts maltose into glucose. The glucose so produced is either utilised by the body or stored in the liver as glycogen.
