Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The context describes ornaments that "clothed her left upper arm all the way down to her fingers". Ornaments worn on the arm/wrist extending down to the fingers are 'bangles'. Other options like toe-rings, ear-rings, and anklets are worn on feet, ears, and ankles respectively, which does not fit the description of the arm.
