Best answer
Correct answer is (b) Hepatic amylase

To elaborate: Liver does not produce amylase and, therefore, there is no such hepatic amylase. However, salivary amylase, pancreatic amylase, and gastric amylase are produced by various organisms for the breakdown of complex carbohydrates into simpler ones.
