It's not parallelism. The idea is not repeated in a slightly different way.

It's not a simile or metaphor. Compared to what? The sentence is a fragment.

That only leaves A but it's not a good answer. The sentence is incomplete.

Did you leave something out?

If you had 
He who gives to himself entirely to his fellow man, gives entirely to himself.
That would be parallel.

Answer:

D. Parallelism.

Explanation:

Parallelism is a rhetoric device used in writing to create a harmonious effect.  It is the repetition of grammatical elements that are same either in their construction, meaning, sound or meter.

Henry David Thoreau was an American essayist, philosopher and poet.

In his essay, "Civil Disobedience" or "Resistance to Civil Government", he talks about that the people should not allow government to overrule their conscience. In his views, the government instead of being just is an agent of corruption and injustice.

In his speech, he says,

<em>"He who gives himself entirely to his fellow-men appears to them useless and selfish; but he who gives himself partially to them is pronounced a benefactor and philanthropist.(66-67)" </em>

The rhetorical device that Thoreau had used in this part of his speech is  Parallelism.

Sati [7]
It is important to be surrounded by beauty. Not just in art in everything. Art inspires people, it can inspire young and old. But art objects everywhere you look is overwhelming and can start the idea of plagiarism.

In a house not too small not too large. In a popular city where people have big houses and nice things. One moment someone has silly glasses the next day everyone has them. People copy people to get noticed. At home you hear crying yelling. You can feel the unloving feeling against you.

But Auggie's Mum decides it's time for him to taste the real world. But his Dad refers to the sentence « Like a lamb to the slaughter ». Meaning they’ll be putting August in danger, or in a dangerous and different environment.

weeeeeb [17]
After Macbeth gets the prophecy he now thinks he will be king. Macbeth now wants to be king and he thinks the only way to do that is to kill King Duncan.

After the prophecy they both become suspicious of each other. Macbeth killed King Duncan and Banquo questions how the prophecy came true. Macbeth thinks Banquo knows that he killed King Duncan so he then plots to kill him.
