Answer:

A. The death penalty should be abolished because it is cruel, because it is expensive, and because it does not deter crime.

Step-by-step explanation:

A parallel structure is the repetition of a grammatical form within a sentence.

Statement A is the repetition of subordinate clauses of reason introduced by the reason conjunction because:

because it is cruel, because it is expensive, and because it does not deter crime.

The correct answer is: A

The parallel structure in a sentence is the repetition of the same pattern of words or phrases in a sentence to show that two or more ideas have the same importance.

In grammar, parallel structure is the balance between two or more similar words.

Example:

Ex 1: My motorcycle is new, beautiful and bright.

Ex. 2: Mom told me to do my homework, not to stay late and brush my teeth before going to bed.
