The nation’s three military academies have seen a dramatic rise in applications, one fueled by a resurgence of patriotism, increasing tuition costs at private colleges, and improved recruiting by the academies.

(A) one fueled by a resurgence of patriotism, increasing tuition costs at private colleges, and improved recruiting by the academies

(B) one fueled by a resurgence of patriotism, tuition costs that have increased at private colleges, and academies improving their recruiting

(C) one fueled by a resurgence of patriotism, private colleges that increased their tuition costs, and recruiting improvements by the academies

(D) fueled by a resurgence of patriotism, tuition costs increasing at private colleges, and academies improving their recruiting

(E) fueled by a resurgence of patriotism, increasing tuition costs at private colleges, and academies improving their recruiting

OA is A....do explain your logic!

(B) one fueled by a resurgence of patriotism, tuition costs that have increased at private colleges, and academies improving their recruiting

(C) one fueled by a resurgence of patriotism, private colleges that increased their tuition costs, and recruiting improvements by the academies

(D) fueled by a resurgence of patriotism, (not parallel)tuition costs increasing at private colleges, and academies improving their recruiting

(E) fueled by a resurgence of patriotism, (not parallel)increasing tuition costs at private colleges, and academies improving their recruiting

A is the only option which maintains the parallel structure.

(A) one fueled by a resurgence of patriotism, increasing tuition costs at private colleges, and improved recruiting by the academies

consistent idiom for all three reasons (simple present). all the other answers have inconsistent idioms.

(B) one fueled by a resurgence of patriotism (simple present), tuition costs that have increased at private colleges (past perfect), and academies improving their recruiting (present continuous)

(C) one fueled by a resurgence of patriotism (simple present), private colleges that increased their tuition costs (simple past), and recruiting improvements by the academies (simple present)

(D) fueled by a resurgence of patriotism (simple present), tuition costs increasing at private colleges (simple present), and academies improving their recruiting (present continuous)

(E) fueled by a resurgence of patriotism (present), increasing tuition costs at private colleges (present), and academies improving their recruiting (present continuous)
