B. Since there is relative velocity between the orange portal and the target, the momentum is conserved and they will launch.

The only way B is correct is if the people are launched as a pink paste from the forces resulting from the instant acceleration, and if the trolley also at least slows

Launched with a little more entropy.

In simpler terms, speedy thing goes in, speedy thing comes out

Except the people aren't moving so aren't speedy

No momentum goes in, no momentum comes out
