(b) the kinetic energy but not the linear momentum

Explanation:

If there is no external force the linear momentum is conserved because the velocity of CoM is not changed, so internal forces cannot change the linear momentum of the system. Since internal forces can change the velocity of the constituent particles of the system, K.E. of the system can change because even for negative velocity K.E. =½mv² will be positive.
