The sentence that has faulty parallel structure is option B. To make it parallel should be to parents, to teacher and to students

Faulty parallelism is a construction in which two or more parts of a sentence are equivalent in meaning but not grammatically similar in form. Option B does not follow the same grammatical pattern
