None of them has a parallel universal shape, in spite of the fact that c. tries it and fails in basic terms with the aid of fact the verb varieties are not parallel. that is going to be "you could the two communicate with the administrative or write to the president." See the parallelism? It has project/verb structures of the comparable variety. There are additionally parallel structures interior lists, which would be what you imply. a. does not qualify--purely itemizing 3 nouns is rather a shape of any variety. b. for the reason which you haven't any longer made it sparkling that the ice cream plant is below communicate, the sentence appears like nonsense till the reader purely approximately reads your innovations. yet there is not any parallelism right here; the sentence is approximately reason and result. d. is a prepare injury with the aid of fact the products contained in the record are not parallel--they're an adjective, a noun, and a verb. Parallelism would examine like "would desire to have athleticism, intelligence, and a sturdy humorousness"; all 3 of those are nouns.

Choice A is written using parallelism which means that the structure of the sentence remains the same throughout and sounds better and more smooth.
Another example would be, "He likes to have coffee, to have hot showers, and to have ice cream for dessert" instead of saying "He likes to have coffee, he also likes hot showers, and for dessert he likes ice cream."
Do you see how the first one keeps the same sound and structure?

None of these is grammatically correct, but sentence 'C' is closest: substitute the word 'write' for 'writing' and a correct parallel sentence is the result.
