(a) the initial kinetic energy is equal to the final kinetic energy 

Explanation: 

The initial kinetic energy before the collision and the final kinetic energy after the collision will remain the same. We cannot say that (c) is true because during the contact a part of the kintic energy is stored as elastic potential energy in the bodies, and at this time total kinetic energy is less than the initial or final kinetic energy.
