Solution

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
Since internal forces occur pair-wise, sum of all internal forces =0 ; these cannot change the momentum of the system.
When the only forces doing work are internal forces, energy changes forms - from kinetic to potential (or vice versa)
