The correct answer is letter A. Enzymes assure that digestion occurs within hours instead of days. These chemicals release fast acting agents that digest food and turn it into usable energy within the body. Without these enzymes digestion would occur at a very slow pace and the body will become weak because of the lack of nutrient absorption.
