Why is it feminine?

Possibilidades is feminine because it derives from Latin "possibilitas," which belonged to the first declension feminine category (-tas ending), and Portuguese inherited this feminine gender when the word evolved through Old Portuguese into its modern form. The -dade suffix in Portuguese (derived from Latin -tate/-tas) remains a productive feminine marker, so words formed with it are consistently feminine.
