The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

$p=\sqrt{2Km} \, \, \, \, or \, \, \, \, p = \sqrt m,$
$\hspace15mm \frac{m_1}{m_2}=\frac{1}{4} \, \, \, \Rightarrow \, \, \therefore \, \, \, \frac{p_1}{p_2}=\frac{1}{2}$

Kinetic energy

Kinetic energy of an object is the measure of the work it does as a result of its motion. Kinetic energy is the type of energy that an object or particle has as a result of its movement. When an object is subjected to a net force, it accelerates and gains kinetic energy as a result. Kinetic energy is a property of a moving object or particle defined by both its mass and its velocity. Any combination of motions is possible, including translation (moving along a route from one spot to another), rotation around an axis, vibration, and any combination of motions.
