The third choice is the best revision to the sentence: "I am interested in drawing, painting, and making sculptures."

The correct option is letter C. I am interested in drawing, painting, and making sculptures.

This is the best option as it follows the principle of parallelism in sentences which states all words within a listing should belong to the same word type. In this case, the original sentence stated two ideas as gerunds (drawing, painting) and a last one in the base form of the verb (make sculptures) which went against said principle.
