To enter the competition, the student must score a total of at least 450 points on five qualifying tests. The student has already scored a total of (95 + 90 + 82 + 89) = 356 points on the first four tests.
To find three possible scores on the last test, we need to find the minimum score required to reach a total of 450 points.
Minimum required score on the last test = 450 - 356 = 94 points.
Therefore, three possible scores on the last test to enter the competition are: 94, 95, and 96.
Hence, the correct answer is A. Three possible scores are 94, 95, and 96.
