Answer:

A: Box 1 has more mass than box 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The liner momentum of the boxes before and after the crash. Since the larger box has more mass then it's velocity will create a larger impact upon the smaller box because it is heavier it's speed would increase before impact and since the othe box was smaller it's speed would be slower..
