The 10th percentile is the value below which 10% of the data falls. In a sorted list of scores (65, 66, 67, 68, 71, 73, 74, 77, 77, 77), the 10th percentile is calculated by interpolating between the first and second values: 65 + 0.1*(66-65) = 65.1. However, since the options provided are rounded, the closest option is 65.9.
