What is the meaning? The are two actions: the artist dressed and laid down.
The correct structure of the sentence should be: the artist dressed, (how is dressed), and laid down.
There is no need to put all in parallel as E for example because the meaning is not clear:
E)fatigues, commando boots, a red beret - Not clear
The only option that respect the above structure is B, and I pick it as my answer.

This is a question about modifier more than parallelism because each answer choice but B have a modifier problem. if you look at the wrong choices you can see how the boots wear a red beret and this has no sense, at all.
Even ig do not understand the meaning of the question you still tackle it under this standing point
Only B fix the problem of this question.
NB: this kind of question are the most harmful during the exam simple because are not the hardest but if you pick them wrong, can drop your score more than an hard question.
