The first sentence states how competitive exams can catch a candidate off guard. Statement A ideally follows the first statement by saying why this happens (because the students are used to a particular pattern). The last statement sums up the passage by citing examples of the probable surprises in competitive exams, which tend to put the students off. Therefore only statement A forms a logically coherent para with the two statements.
