The correct answer to this question is B '' To become certified, you must take a written exam, take a physical activity test, and submit to a background check. '' Because the word ''Take' is repeated 2 times which makes it parallel. The meaning of a parallel structure is a word that is repeated 2 or more times in a sentence.
