Explanation:

Parallelism proposes beauty to the sentence and enhances the readability and flow of the sentence. It employs the repetition of elements that are similar in structure or form to offer more clarity and understanding of a particular thought expressed through the sentence.

As per the question, the sentence that rectifies the faulty parallelism in the given statement is displayed through option C as it employs the parallel form of the verbs ('jumping', 'pulling' and 'landing') that are of equal significance that corresponds to a parallel structure.
