Solution

The correct option is B elastic,kinetic
During elastic collision, at first both the bodies get deformed, so total kinetic energy is converted into theie elastic energies and then they regain their original shape (when moving apart with different velocities) suggesting that the elastic energy is converted back into the kinetic energy.
