CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. The first three total 70+72+38=18070 + 72 + 38 = 180, so 180+x≥240180 + x \ge 240 gives x≥60x \ge 60.

  2. The least such score is 60, though the classmate has already failed the course on the 38.

Worth noting

75 is Riya's figure; the classmate's three tests total 180, not 165.
