Why A? Wouldn't it be D?

after collision, mass = 2m
so 0.5 x 2m x v^2 = mv^2

and momentum
= 2mv^2?

But then why is it A?

P = I^2 R

As W is removed , Total R increases so I would increase
So then wouldn't the power across Y and Z also increase?

But it's C... Why would the power across Y and Z decrease?

B - average ke of remaining atoms is reduced? how?

The most energetic molecules - those which possess the most kinetic energy - have sufficient energy to break the liquid bonds and escape into the atmosphere. This leaves behind the less energetic molecules, hence reducing the average kinetic energy of the remaining molecules.
