Solution
The correct option is A Momentum of the system is constant If the resultant of all the external forces acting on a system of particles is zero, then from an inertial frame, one can surely say that:
1: Linear momentum of the system does not change in time.
2: Kinetic energy of the system does not change in time. option A
