Answer 1

C, I and II

Explanation:

Removing one paperclip or one candy from a container leaves less in the container. This raises the probability of picking a specific item from the bunch.

ex. There's 5 rocks in a box. 20% chance to pick each one. Remove one of the rocks and the percentage rises to 25%. Now there's a higher chance to pick one specific rock.
