Parallel structure 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. Therefore, the answer is A. We the living, have not forgotten- and the world will never forget- the deeds of the words of Gettysburg.

Hope I helped :)
