In writing, the quotation marks (") are used for multiple purposes such as marking quotations, but besides this, quotation marks should be used to mark short works such as poems or short stories or sections of longer works including chapters of books. On the other hand, titles of books should not be marked by quotation marks but italicized. This implies in the sentence presented the only sections that should be marked by quotations are the names of the chapters that are "Identity Theft" and "Auction and eBay Frauds" and therefore the options that describe the way the sentence should be changed is both B and C or "/Identify Theft/ should be in quotation marks because it is the title of a book chapter" and "Auction and eBay Frauds/ should be in quotation marks because it is the title of a book chapter".
Some helpful hints on how to revise sentences for parallel structure: 1) Figure out what parts of the sentence are being compared. 2) Decide whether they are parallel, i.e. arranged or constructed in the same way. 3) If they are not, make them parallel by making the grammatical construction the same in each part.
