Solution

The correct option is C both mass and velocity
The momentum of an object depends on both mass and velocity. Heavier products tend to produce a greater force and thus have greater momentum. Momentum also depends on how fast the object is travelling. For example, a faster car will have a greater momentum than a slower one.
