Answer:

Option C, The total momentum of the fragments is equal to the original momentum of the firecracker.

Step-by-step explanation:

Kinetic energy of cracker cannot remain constant before and after explosion. It is so because in the process of burning and bursting some amount of kinetic energy is lost in the form of light and heat energy. While the total mass before and after the explosion remains constant due to which the momentum is conserved before and after the explosion

Hence, option C is correct
