Parallelism means that the same form of a word is used throughout a particular sentence. Having this in mind, the correct option is the first sentence - B y working, playing, and dreaming together, we can build a better neighborhood.

You can see in this sentence that the same form of the verbs is used - all of them use the gerund form (verb + ing) : working, playing, dreaming.

The other options are not so consistent.
