OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
In anticipation of the hurricane season, the Housing Department has recommended that all county residents check their storm windows, arrange for emergency provisions and an alternative energy supply, such as a small generator or kerosene heater, and remembering to renew their insurance policies to protect their property.
(A) an alternative energy supply, such as a small generator or kerosene heater, and remembering to renew
Incorrect.
This answer choice is grammatically incorrect: the first two items in the list are in the base form of the verb (check, arrange), but the last item is in the Verb+ing form (remembering).
What helps you identify this question as a Parallelism question as well as identify the mistake is the following Stop Sign:
- A list of 3 items or more, separated by commas and and/or before the last item.
In a list of 3 or more items, all the items should be the same part of speech (all nouns, all verbs, or all adjectives).
Note that this sentence contains multiple parallel structures, some of which are nested within others.
(B) an alternative energy supply, such as a small generator or kerosene heater, and remember to renew
This answer choice corrects the Parallelism mistake in the original sentence by changing the Verb+ing form remembering to the base form remember, which matches the first two items on the list (check, arrange).

(C) an alternative energy supply, such as a small generator or kerosene heater, other than remember renewing
Incorrect.
This answer choice is grammatically incorrect. The phrase other than cannot serve as the connector in this parallelism:
- ...the Housing Department has recommended that all county residents:
(1) check their storm windows,
(2) arrange for emergency provisions and an alternative energy supply, such as a small generator or kerosene heater,
(3) other than remember to renew ...

(D) alternative energy supplying, such as a small generator or kerosene heating, and remembering to
Incorrect.
This answer choice is grammatically incorrect: the first two items in the list are in the base form of the verb (check, arrange), but the last item is in the Verb+ing form (remembering).
In addition, the change from supply to supplying violates the rule that the Verb+ing form should not be used to replace a noun if the corresponding noun exists in the language. In this case, the original supply is a perfectly suitable English noun.
(E) supplying alternative energy from a small generator or kerosene heater, and remember the renewal of[/quote]
Incorrect.
This answer choice is grammatically incorrect: the word and indicates the final item of a list. However, it is followed by the word supplying which is in the Verb+ing form and therefore does not match any of the lists started earlier in the sentence: base form verbs [check, arrange, ****** ] or nouns [emergency provisions and ******* ].
