B
Though I'm not sure with "balance among" but no other choices are parallel.

among compares three or more things. here those three things are "explaining...", "revealing..", and "promoting.." --> also parallelism of gerunds is good.

I feel it should be B

among is used for comparing more than 2 things..also explaining ,revealing and promoting fits good in this option.
