We know that momentum is multiplication of mass & velocity and velocity never will be constant because velocity is vector quantity so momentum of any system not constant in any direction.

We know that energy can neither be created nor be destroyed but can change into another form.

True, when no change in momentum takes place either we say statically condition.

The principle of law of conservation says that energy neither created nor destroyed.

I think the correct answer will be option(A) because in order to change the momentum of any system in any dirn we will need to change the velocity which occurs only when there is net external force on the system.

The total momentum of a system of masses in any direction remains constant unless acted upon by an external force in that direction. This is right. But in our question is according to conservation of energy. Without external force concern. The body should move. Energy neither created nor destroyed.

The force applied should be an external 'unbalanced' force in that direction.

Energy neither created nor to be destroyed but it is a form of energy according to principle of the law of conservation of energy.

Newtons 2 law and law of conservation of energy combined. So it is false statement.

This question states that newton's first law.
