All of the above.

Explanation:

Parallelism in literature is when an author uses the consecutive grammar construction or sentence form in his / her sentence. Any repetition in a word or phrase or even words or full sentences all signify parallelism.

In the given quotes or phrases from Queen Elizabeth I's speech at Tilbury are all examples of parallelism. She keeps on using the same sentence construction in her words "my God ... my kingdom, and my people", "I myself ... I myself". All the lines show her use of parallelism in her sentences.
