Does the angular momentum of a body change when its axis of rotation changes? Why?

Three equal masses $m$ are kept at vertices $(A, B, C)$ of an equilateral triangle of side $a$ in free space. At $t = 0$,they are given an initial velocity $\vec{V}_A = V_0 \hat{u}_{AC}, \vec{V}_B = V_0 \hat{u}_{BA}$ and $\vec{V}_C = V_0 \hat{u}_{CB}$. Here,$\hat{u}_{AC}, \hat{u}_{CB}$ and $\hat{u}_{BA}$ are unit vectors along the edges of the triangle. If the three masses interact gravitationally,then the magnitude of the net angular momentum of the system about the centroid of the triangle is:

$A$ particle of mass $m$ moves with a constant velocity. Which of the following statements is incorrect regarding its angular momentum?

Explain the angular momentum of a particle and show that it is the moment of linear momentum about the reference point.

$A$ particle of mass $m$ is moving in time $t$ on a trajectory given by $\overrightarrow{r} = 10 \alpha t^2 \hat{i} + 5 \beta (t - 5) \hat{j}$. Where $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are dimensional constants. The angular momentum of the particle becomes the same as it was for $t = 0$ at time $t = \dots$ seconds.
