After the truck full of marbles collides with the Christmas ornament, it transfers some of its momentum to the Christmas ornament and the truck's velocity changes.

Therefore, the amount of the momentum transferred equals the sum of all the moving pieces of the ornament and moving marbles is the correct choice.
