Q. The total energy of a system is always conserved irrespective of whether external forces act on the system.

Underline the correct alternative :

(a) When a conservative force does positive work on a body, the potential energy of the body increases / decreases / remains unaltered.

(b) Work done by a body against friction always results in a loss of its kinetic / potential energy.

(c) The rate of change of total momentum of a many-particle system is proportional to the external force / sum of the internal forces on the system.

(d) In an inelastic collision of two bodies, the quantities which do not change after the collision are the total kinetic energy / total linear momentum / total energy of the system of two bodies.

The total mechanical energy of a system is conserved if the forces that act on it are
