The correct answer for the given question above would be option C. The sentence that contains a faulty parallel structure is, "He exercised while I watch television." What makes this sentence having a faulty parallel structure is the improper use of the verbs "exercised" and "watch". Since the first verb is in the past form, the next verb should also be in the past form which is "watched".
