The correct answer is D) Because he waited to the last minute to study, finished his labs too late, and is lacking motivation, Jonathan failed science.

Explanation:

A sentence is said to lack a parallel structure when the elements presented in it do not follow the same grammatical pattern or structure. This means there are two or more grammatical forms, and therefore the sentence does not include parallel elements. This occurs in the sentence "Because he waited to the last minute to study, finished his labs too late, and is lacking motivation, Jonathan failed science" as the element "lacking motivation" does not follow the same grammatical form than others as this includes an -ing verb form while other elements have been written using simple pas as in "waited", "finished", and "failed".
