Two balls,having linear momenta $\vec{p}_1 = p \hat{i}$ and $\vec{p}_2 = -p \hat{i}$,undergo a collision in free space. There is no external force acting on the balls. Let $\vec{p}_1^{\prime}$ and $\vec{p}_2^{\prime}$ be their final momenta. Which of the following option$(s)$ is (are) $NOT ALLOWED$ for any non-zero value of $p, a_1, a_2, b_1, b_2, c_1$ and $c_2$?
$(A)$ $\vec{p}_1^{\prime} = a_1 \hat{i} + b_1 \hat{j} + c_1 \hat{k}$,$\vec{p}_2^{\prime} = a_2 \hat{i} + b_2 \hat{j}$
$(B)$ $\vec{p}_1^{\prime} = c_1 \hat{k}$,$\vec{p}_2^{\prime} = c_2 \hat{k}$
$(C)$ $\vec{p}_1^{\prime} = a_1 \hat{i} + b_1 \hat{j} + c_1 \hat{k}$,$\vec{p}_2^{\prime} = a_2 \hat{i} + b_2 \hat{j} - c_1 \hat{k}$
