{'enzyme': [8, 0, 2, 0], 'saliva': [2, 0, 0, 1], 'amylase': [5, 0, 2, 4], 'pepsin': [10, 0, 3, 2], 'trypsin': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'renin': [3, 1, 0, 1]}
The correct answer is option 3: Amylase. Amylase is the enzyme that is present in the saliva of humans.
Pepsin (option 1) is an enzyme present in the stomach that helps in the digestion of proteins. Renin (option 2) is an enzyme found in the stomach of infants and helps in the digestion of milk proteins. Trypsin (option 4) is an enzyme produced in the pancreas and helps in the digestion of proteins.
However, it is important to note that while option 3 is generally correct, there are other enzymes present in saliva as well, such as lipase and lysozyme. These enzymes help in the breakdown of fats and in fighting against bacterial infections, respectively.
