D. 84
E. 86

【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】If the average score for the class is 83, then the sum of all 25 students' scores be 83×25=2,075. The sum of the scores for the 22 students for whom we have scores is 368+546+581+355=1,850. So the three students' scores must make up the difference between 2,075 and 1,850; 2,075-1,850=225; 225/3=75.
