I would say B.
A) "to lure..." is not parallel to "that educate".
C) "to lure..." is not parallel to "for educating".
D) "to lure..." is the correct idiom.
E) "at luring.." is not parallel to "the education of".
That would be my explanation...
Looking forward to an expert's opinion...
A) "to lure..." is not parallel to "that educate".
C) "to lure..." is not parallel to "for educating".
D) "to lure..." is the correct idiom.
E) "at luring.." is not parallel to "the education of".
That would be my explanation...
Looking forward to an expert's opinion...

Thanks for the explanation. But in B, "to lure" and "educate" are also not parallel, IMO. Shouldn't "to lure" be parallel with "to educate" and not "educate"?

I think, because there is a sequence of events. First the school must be successful at "luring" the students before it can "educate them".
By that logic, C also doesn't look like a bad option because it clearly specifies the motive and eliminates the ambiguity completely.

"C" says that we are luring public school students in order to educate them.
You will probably get a better explanation from an expert.

Yes, lets wait for the expert comments. Anyway, thanks for explanations, Bro!

Hey Guys,
Expert opinion has arrived!
(B) CORRECT. "to lure" and "educate". The word "to" distributes in the parallel structure, much like has/have: "I have gone to the store and bought a puppy, which I plan to eat."
(C) Meaning problem. They aren't luring them "for educating" them, but luring them "[in order] to educate" them. I can't say "I ate the sandwich for getting rid of my hunger." We use "to" for intention.
(D) "Which" requires a comma.
(E) Break parallelism "at luring" and "by the education of". Also weird meaning in that last piece: "by the education of," as if it somehow aids the act of luring.
Hope that helps!
