Osvaldo Ware · Answer 2

C. The kinetic energy of the objects is converted to other forms of

energy

Explanation:

Energy is always conserved, meaning it is neither created nor destroyed. Instead, it changes forms. In an inelastic collision, some of the kinetic energy is converted to other forms of energy (heat, sound, work).
