Answer: C) "All love buried in the heart,/all history prisoned in a dream"

Explanation: parallelism is a literary device that consists in the repetition of the grammatical structure of different words or phrases in a sentence or paragraph, in order to emphasize an idea or to create an impact in the audience. From the given options, the lines that represent the best example of parallelism, are the corresponding to option C, because the use of the word "all" + noun + a verb in past tense + "in" + a place, repeates in both lines, mantaining the structure.
