Answer :

A. He is physically and intellectually superior to others and threatens their sense of equality.

The lines "He is a genius and an athlete, is  under-handicapped, and should be regarded as extremely dangerous" from the text depict his profound physical and intellectual abilities.

The lines "The rest of Harrison's appearance was Halloween and hardware. Nobody had ever born heavier  handicaps. He had outgrown hindrances faster than the H-G men could think them up. Instead of a  little ear radio for a mental handicap, he wore a tremendous pair of earphones, and spectacles with  thick wavy lenses. The spectacles were intended to make him not only half blind, but to give him  whanging headaches besides." show that he was made to wear more handicaps to normalize his intelligence, strength and good looks as otherwise, he threatened their sense of equality.

Explanation:

faulty parallelism is a construction in which two or more parts of a sentence are equivalent in meaning but not grammatically similar in form.

the correct version of this faulty parallelism in the sentence is:

the hikers knew that the hike was six miles, that it usually required the entire day, and it would not be wise to start after 10: 00 a.m.

the problem is the last sentence, the first two have a basic subject+verb+object structure.

so, to give a proper balance to the structure, or better said, to give a parallel structure, we must write a basic s+v+o structure in all three sentences:

the hikers knew that the hike was six miles, that it usually required the entire day, and it would not be wise to start after 10: 00 a.m.
