Stem says - government action that intrudes on the right of privacy of an individual is unconstitutional.
So we can think that items belonging to individual are private but individual using it for temporary reasons does not own it.
So we pre think that anything not private can be intruded by government.

Only option E says -
Anything on public school grounds is not individual property. So can be intruded.

Hence E
