Good question here, and great discussion. This one does come down to parallel structure, but even at that I think there's some definite strategy here if you look at where the underlined portion fits back in to the rest of the sentence.
The last word of the underlined portion in each answer choice is "outside", meaning that we're stuck with the word "on" as the first non-underlined, fixed portion of the sentence. Because we're stuck with that prepositional connector, we need to make sure that, in this parallel construction, we have a connector to match for the first term.
Therefore, we need to have:
Either in...or on
Only E, the correct answer, provides us with that construction. Students can eat their lunch:
Either in (the cafeteria) or on (the playground)
