Hello,
Your answer is A) Neither of them are rich
Later on in the story (The Necklace), we read that Della lends Mathilda a diamond necklace. Well at the end of the story, the narrator states that the "diamond" necklace was nor real. It was a plaster model. This helps us prove that neither of them are rich and can't afford nice jewelry.
Best Of Luck,
- I.A. -
