Solution

The correct option is C A body tied to a string is whirled in a circle with a uniform speed. If the string is suddenly cut, the angular momentum of the body will change from its initial value.
The only incorrect statement is (c). Since no external torque acts on the body even after the string is cut, the angular momentum will remain unchanged.
