In this problem, we are asked to identify a sentence that demonstrates a parallel structure. Parallel structure means that all parts of the sentence should be grammatically similar or equivalent.

Let's examine each option and see if it follows a parallel structure. Option A: Keisha walks to her car, looks in her rearview mirror, and began fixing her hair. The first two actions are both gerunds (verbs ending in -ing used as nouns), while the third action is a verb conjugation. This does not follow a parallel structure. Option B: Pablo despises writing papers, studying for tests, and to finish homework. The first two items are gerunds, while the third item is an infinitive (to + verb). This does not follow a parallel structure. Option C: The house cat is lazy, irritable, and lacks enthusiasm and motivation. The first two adjectives describe the cat's characteristics, while the third item is a phrase with two adjectives. This does not follow a parallel structure. Option D: During the summer, Andy loves camping, fishing, and building campfires. The first two actions are gerunds, and the third action is also a gerund. This follows a parallel structure.
