Answer:

A. Submandibular

B. Parotid

Step-by-step explanation:

The amylase is an enzyme that turns starch into sugars and is presented in the saliva of humans and other mammals. It begins the digestive process. Besides the salivary glands, the pancreas also produces it to help turn starch into sugar and convert that, with other enzymes, in glucose to supply the body with energy.

I hope this answer helps you.
