To determine what parts of the five-number summary would change if a new data point of 97 were added to the dataset, let's first calculate the five-number summary of the original dataset:

**Original Dataset:** 68, 85, 88, 97, 85, 89, 98, 93, 95, 99

1. **Minimum:** The smallest value (68)
2. **Q1:** The first quartile, which is the median of the first half (68, 85, 85, 88, 89) = 85
3. **Median:** The median (average of 10 numbers) is the average of the 5th and 6th values in sorted order (89 and 90) = (89+90)/2 = 88.5
4. **Q3:** The third quartile is the median of the second half (89, 93, 95, 97, 98, 99) = 95
5. **Maximum:** The largest value (99)

**New Dataset with 97 added:** 68, 85, 85, 88, 89, 97, 97, 93, 95, 98, 99

Now we need to recalculate the five-number summary:

1. **Minimum:** Remains (68)
2. **Q1:** Calculated from (68, 85, 85, 88, 89, 97) = 85
3. **Median:** New median position is now the 6th and 7th numbers (89 and 97). The new median= (89+97)/2 = 93
4. **Q3:** New Q3 calculated from (93, 95, 97, 98, 99) = 97
5. **Maximum:** Remains (99)

### Summary of Changes
- The **median** changed from 89 to 93.
- The **Q3** changed from 95 to 97.
- The **minimum** and **maximum** did not change.

### Answer
Therefore, if a new data point of 97 is added, the parts of the five-number summary that would change are **the median and Q3**.

The correct response is:
**the median and Q3**.
