Answer:

B). Charges included failing to​ signal, driving​ recklessly, and going too fast for conditions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallelism is referred to as the condition when two or more sentences, phrases or clauses carry a similar grammatical structure. The parallel writing structure makes the work look elegant and sound effective. It helps to present the ideas of the same importance in continuity and also improves the readability of the text. Thus, among the given options the sentence that avoids parallelism problem is option B as it is appropriately structured in a parallel manner with the same form of the verb to join three activities of similar importance together 'failing', 'driving', and 'going'. Thus, the answer is option B.
