Answer
A
“write a formal essay”
B
“the steps of the writing process”
C
“prewriting to gather your ideas”
D
“drafting to organize your ideas”
E
“making revisions to make sure your ideas are logical”

Explanation

The parallel phrases are “prewriting to gather your ideas,” “drafting to organize your ideas,” and “making revisions to make sure your ideas are logical.” Each names a step in the writing process using an -ing action phrase and explains its purpose. “Write a formal essay” and “the steps of the writing process” do not follow that same pattern.
