Best answer
Right option is (c) Impulse

Easy explanation: The mass is distributed over two velocities. According to the Newton’s second law, the change in momentum is equal to the impulse so produced. Since, momentum is a quantity that describes an object’s resistance to stopping. It is equated with its impulse.
