    A, C. D

    Explanation:

    When the two masses collide, The momentum of the system is conserved during the collision and the two masses lose all their kinetic energy during the collision. Moreover, the velocity of the center of mass of the system is the same after the collision as it was before the collision. Therefore, options A, C and D are true
