Answer:D

Explanation:according to the law of conservation of energy/momentum, when two bodies collides, their total momentum and energy before and after collision are equal. Given that the two bodies move with the same velocities after collision, means that the law has not been violated since momentum = mass x velocity (where mass is constant)
