Answer 1

Apart from dabbling in playwriting, he has tried creating a great epic novel and composing a long, tragic epic.

this is the correct answer!

In parallel structure, the phrases have the same type of pattern. In sentence 3, each of the action verbs used ends in /ing/. While the other sentences do have phrases separated by commas, none contain the same format throughout, as sentence 3 does.
