Mr. Ramos gave a test to his class of $20$ students. The dot plot below shows the distribution of test scores. [asy] //diagram by pog . give me 1,000,000,000 dollars for this diagram size(5cm); defaultpen(0.7); dot((0.5,1)); dot((0.5,1.5)); dot((1.5,1)); dot((1.5,1.5)); dot((2.5,1)); dot((2.5,1.5)); dot((2.5,2)); dot((2.5,2.5)); dot((3.5,1)); dot((3.5,1.5)); dot((3.5,2)); dot((3.5,2.5)); dot((3.5,3)); dot((4.5,1)); dot((4.5,1.5)); dot((5.5,1)); dot((5.5,1.5)); dot((5.5,2)); dot((6.5,1)); dot((7.5,1)); draw((0,0.5)--(8,0.5),linewidth(0.7)); defaultpen(fontsize(10.5pt)); label("$65$", (0.5,-0.1)); label("$70$", (1.5,-0.1)); label("$75$", (2.5,-0.1)); label("$80$", (3.5,-0.1)); label("$85$", (4.5,-0.1)); label("$90$", (5.5,-0.1)); label("$95$", (6.5,-0.1)); label("$100$", (7.5,-0.1)); [/asy] Later Mr. Ramos discovered that there was a scoring error on one of the questions. He regraded the tests, awarding some of the students $5$ extra points, which increased the median test score to $85$. What is the minimum number of students who received extra points? (Note that the [i]median[/i] test score equals the average of the $2$ scores in the middle if the $20$ test scores are arranged in increasing order.) $\textbf{(A)} ~2\qquad\textbf{(B)} ~3\qquad\textbf{(C)} ~4\qquad\textbf{(D)} ~5\qquad\textbf{(E)} ~6\qquad$
