    Option c is correct

    Explanation:

    There are two types of collisions-elastic collision and inelastic collision.

    In elastic collision, both kinetic energy and total momentum are conserved. On the other hand, in inelastic collision, total momentum is conserved but kinetic energy is not conserved. Thus, option b and d are incorrect.

    Total energy is always conserved in both types. Thus, option a is incorrect.

    In a perfectly inelastic collision, objects stick together. This happens because maximum kinetic energy is dissipated and used in bonding of the two objects. Thus, correct option is c.
