Controversy has divided Senate

The controversy has divided the Senate, caused strains in the commission, and provoked public charges by industry officials that the banking chief is overreaching his authority and private complaints that he is "reckless" and "stubborn."

above three are parallel part.

Think of choice E as a list of items with sublists. Something like this:

The controversy has:
1. divided the Senate
2. caused strains in the commission (and)
3. provoked:
  • 3a. public charges... that the banking chief is overreaching his authority (and)
    3b. private complaints that he is reckless and stubborn
As in any list, items 1, 2 and 3 must be parallel, as must be a and b. Hope the parallelism is clear now. :)
