A: the acceleration of COM = net force/mass. therefore linear velocity of centre of mass is constant

B:consider, for example, a couple(a pair of anti-parallel forces equal in manitude,and symmetric about the COM) acting on the rigid body. the torque is nonzero, therefore, answer- may be varying

C:Same as above

D: modify case B by moving the couple parallel to itself such that it is symmetric about this new axis. it is then obvious that angular velocity about this axis may be varying
