Q.

During an elastic collision 
Statement(A) : The total linear momentum is conserved at each instant of the collision 
Statement(B) :  The kinetic energy conservation applies after the collision is over and does not hold at every instant of the collision.
Statement(C) :  When two equal masses undergo a glancing elastic collision with one of them at rest then after the collision, they will move at right angles to each other.

Detailed Solution

As there is no internal force momentum is always conserved. During collision potential energy increases and then decreases but total kinetic energy before and after remain same. Perfectly elastic oblique collision between two masses moves at right angle after collision.
