You can actually try plugging in all the numbers into the equation p=mv. By the look of the question the third option is already cancelled out as the velocity is zero making the momentum zero. Hope that helps!
Yes, you are correct! Also, when making comparisons, don't forget to change the 3grams to kgs.
