C. combine the sentences using parallel structure

Parallel structure is the repetition of the same grammatical structure within a sentence or across a group of sentences. Both the first sentences start with an action verb. The third sentence needs to be revised to start with an action verb as well. It should change to "Add a dollop of whipped cream for even more enjoyment." Passive verbs are not recommended for advertisements and there are no grammatical errors. Also, descriptive modifiers will make the advertisement even more wordy.
