Answer:

A. Take consistent amounts of their saliva samples with varying amounts of starch

Step-by-step explanation:

Amylase is an enzyme that is required for the digestion of carbohydrates (starch). The enzyme amylase can be found in saliva.

In other to find out how long it would take for amylase to digestive starch, you would have to take consistent amount of saliva samples with varying amount or starch because amylase is an independent variable while the starch is a dependent variable in this experiment.
