So you first need to know the definition of parallel structure.

"Parallel structure (also called parallelism) is the repetition of a chosen grammatical form within a sentence. By making each compared item or idea in your sentence follow the same grammatical pattern, you create a parallel construction. Example Not Parallel: Ellen likes hiking, the rodeo, and to take afternoon naps."~google

so based on this definition, yes, we know option 3 is not correct, seeing as they do not follow the same form. Now to find the correct answer, the word "can" should only be used one time in the sentence. For example: "My sister can dance,sing, and draw." 
From A, B, and D, choose the one that follows those ^ rules (:
