Today's children are tempted to stay indoors by video games, to chat online, and television.

A. to chat online
B. having online chats
C. to have chats online
D. chat online
E. online chats

only D & E maintain parallelism

not sure which is correct; but chat is uncountable, so chats may be incorrect

I think answer D

According to parallelism requirements, we need to have a noun ad the second element of the list. Therefore, E is the only suitable option.

IMO - E

"Online chats" is a noun that parallels with "video game" and "television"
