    He wanted three things out of the class: to learn a new skill, to make new friends, and to develop a different mindset.

    Explanation:

    Three infinitives (to learn, to make, to develop) explain the object three things; that's parallelism, i. e. use of identical grammatical construction.

    The other options use both gerund (s) and infinitive (s). Using different constructions cannot create parallelism; that's why those sentences do not contain correct parallel structure.
