I believe this is correct not overly 100% sure.

Answer:

a). when I wake up, I start eating food, taking a shower and go to school

Explanation:

The above sentence has an error in the parallel structure sentence because parallel structure means to repeat a grammatical form within the sentence in the correct form.
