Maltose is produced instantly when amylase reacts with starch.
Starch is a polysaccharide molecule made of glucose units. The chemical formula of the starch is written as (C₆H₁₀O₅)ₙ. The starch consists of amylose and amylopectin. The glucose units in this starch are linked with the help of two kinds of bonds α 1,4 glycosidic linkages and α 1,6 glycosidic linkages.
This starch molecule is first hydrolyzed into shorter polysaccharides, dextrins, and maltose with a help of an enzyme called amylase. The maltose can be further hydrolyzed into glucose units with the help of the maltase enzyme.
Therefore, the blank can be filled with maltose.

Personally, I'd pick C. self-efficacy.
Self-efficacy refers to the confidence that a person has when it comes to their own ability and skills. So Ramona has always believed that she can succeed even when things are tough which is something that got her through both college and life in general.
