The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

To solve the given question, we need to correctly match each enzyme from List I with the corresponding conversion process from List II. Let's analyze each enzyme:

  1. Invertase: This enzyme catalyzes the conversion of sucrose (cane sugar) into glucose and fructose. Thus, the correct match is "Cane sugar into glucose and fructose" which corresponds to IV.
  2. Zymase: This enzyme complex catalyzes the conversion of glucose into ethanol and carbon dioxide during fermentation. Therefore, it matches with "Glucose into ethanol," which corresponds to III.
  3. Diastase: This enzyme catalyzes the conversion of starch into maltose. Hence, it matches with "Starch into maltose," which corresponds to I.
  4. Maltase: This enzyme catalyzes the conversion of maltose into glucose. So, it matches with "Maltose into glucose," which corresponds to II.

Based on the analysis above, the correct matches are:

  • A - IV (Invertase - Cane sugar into glucose)
  • B - III (Zymase - Glucose into ethanol)
  • C - I (Diastase - Starch into maltose)
  • D - II (Maltase - Maltose into glucose)

Thus, the correct option is:
A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II
