    (d) a net external force must be acting on the system

    Explanation:

    Momentum is given as the product of mass and velocity.

    P = MV

    According to Newton's second law of motion, " Force applied to a body (system) is directly proportional to the rate of change of momentum of the body (system) which takes place in the direction of the applied force (external force).

    F ∝ΔMV

    Therefore, If the total momentum of a system is changing, a net external force must be acting on the system.

    (d) a net external force must be acting on the system
