A car bumps into a garbage can and pushes it down the driveway. Why is this considered an inelastic collision?

A) kinetic energy is conserved between the car and the trash can
B) kinetic energy it transferred to potential energy during the collision
C) momentum is not conserved between the trash can and the car
D) kinetic energy is transferred to sound and heat energy and energy to possibly deform the garbage can
