    Answer: (E) Momentum and mechanical energy

    Explanation:

     The momentum and the mechanical energy is basically conserved during the given interaction process as the forces on the given system are in the form of internal nature and then the momentum are get conserved.

    According to the given question, on the smooth floor when an object are slides by using the spring then the momentum and the mechanical energy are conserved.

    The mechanical energy is the combination of both the kinetic and the potential energy that is used for doing some amount of work. Therefore, Option (E) is correct answer.
