Best answer
The correct option is (a) Glucose

The best I can explain: The presence of glucose in the medium inhibits the synthesis of glucose. The production of amylase is repressed by exogenous addition of glucose in the medium. Amylase is present abundantly in the pancreas and salivary glands of mammals and animals.
