Solution
The correct option is C Angular momentum is conserved As force is rate of change of linear momentum. as force is non-zero, linear momentum changes and is not conserved. Also Translational Kinetic energy changes.
Also, as torque is rate of change of angular momentum. Torque is zero means angular momentum is conserved.
