Answer:

A and E

Explanation:

A because there are 3 rings and 7 necklaces, so there is a high chance they will be picked. But because there are earrings, braceletes, and one tiara, its not 100% cirtain that the rings or necklaces will be picked.

E because there is only one tiara. There are way more of all the other pieces of jewelry. But if its a choice to be picked there is a small chance it could be chosen.
