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.

Rising action takes place after the introduction of the characters, setting etc. It is usually an event or a series of events in a plot that create the condition for conflicts to arise and to be solved. That is, if it weren't for the rising action, there would be no suspense, no problem, no climax or resolution. In "The Metamorphosis", the rising action begins when Gregor wakes up transformed into a bug. Technically speaking, everything that happens from then on could be thought of as part of the rising action. But, if we want to me more precise, the events provided in options A and C could be considered conflicts, while the event on letter D is the resolution for the conflict. Thus, the event in the rising action cause a conflict and its resolution:
