The assertion states that pancreatic amylase is responsible for the digestion of proteins into amino acids, which is incorrect. Pancreatic amylase is an enzyme that specifically acts on carbohydrates, breaking down starches into smaller sugar molecules.

The reason given states that pancreatic amylase exerts its action by cleaving the peptide bonds present in proteins, which is also incorrect. Pancreatic amylase does not have the ability to break peptide bonds in proteins. Proteins are primarily digested by enzymes such as pepsin in the stomach and trypsin and chymotrypsin in the small intestine. Therefore, both the assertion and the reason are false, making option 4 the correct answer.
