Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Momentum means the ability of an substance or object to continue moving. In general, momentum is the product of mass and velocity. Momentum is a physical quantity.

Mathematically, p = m × v

where, p = momentum

m = mass

v = velocity

Momentum and velocity of an object can change whereas mass or weight is a fixed quantity, so mass will not change whether the object will move or not.

Therefore, when an object changes its velocity then there will also be change in its momentum.
