Is there a story or an article to go with this?
The correct answer is D. however.
You want to show contrast between these two sentences, and the only word among these which can do that is <em>however. </em>The sentences are each other's opposites - even though there is an increase of eagles in the Southeast, there is still a decline in their numbers overall.

Answer:
C. parallel phrases.
Explanation:
Parallelism means that the same form of a word is used throughout a particular sentence; for example, only gerunds are used, or only participles, etc. In this case, infinitive phrases are used: <em>to levy war, (to) conclude peace, (to) contract alliances, (to) establish commerce, to do all other... </em>All of these phrases are infinitive, and thus, parallel.
There aren't any clauses in this sentence (it's a simple sentence) and therefore B is incorrect. A doesn't exist in grammar as a term.
