Identify the revision that best corrects the faulty parallelism in the sentence: "To excel in sports, an athlete needs dedication, training regularly, and good nutrition."

A To excel in sports, an athlete needs dedication, regular training, and good nutrition.
B To excel in sports, an athlete needs dedication, to train regularly, and good nutrition.
C To excel in sports, an athlete needs being dedicated, training regularly, and good nutrition.
D An athlete needs dedication, training regularly, and good nutrition to excel in sports.

✓ Correct Answer: Option A

The original sentence mixes noun forms ('dedication,' 'nutrition') with a gerund phrase ('training regularly'). Option A corrects this by using consistent noun forms: 'dedication,' 'regular training,' and 'good nutrition,' establishing proper parallelism.
