Option (d) is correct. The magnitude of the velocity and mass of the particle will be constant under all conditions. So, momentum remains same. As the magnitude of the velocity of the particle is constant, therefore K.E (= ½ mv2) is also a constant quantity. Thus from the above observation, we conclude that, option (d) is correct.
