How are elastic and inelastic collisions different?

A: Elastic collisions occur when the colliding objects move separately after the collision; after inelastic collisions, the objects are connected and move together.

B: Elastic collisions occur when the objects are going the same direction when they collide; inelastic collisions occur when the objects are going in opposite directions when they collide.

C: Momentum is conserved in elastic collisions; momentum is not conserved in inelastic collisions.

D: Elastic collisions occur between objects of the same mass; inelastic collisions occur between different masses.
