Parallelism + Grammatical construction

This sentence contains a list of three elements, all of which should be parallel. The last element should be preceded by the conjunction and. In this sentence, the last element must be made parallel to the previous two: (1) to revamp computer security procedures, (2) institute new emergency response teams, and (3) create a special nongovernment organization to take charge of computer security planning. Omitting and causes the reader to anticipate still another element in the series when there is none. Using the participle creating not only violates parallelism but also causes misreading since the participial phrase could modify the first part of the sentence. To does not need to be repeated with institute and create because it is understood.

A     Creating is not parallel to to revamp and (to understood) institute, and is needed in this series

B      Creating violates the parallelism of the previous two elements; and is needed in this series; since the organization does not yet exist, that takes is illogical　　请问，应该用什么时态呢？

C     Creating is not parallel to to revamp and (to understood) institute, and is needed in this series; to has the sense of in order to, but for taking is neither precise nor idiomatic.

D     In the construction create to take, the sense of to is in order to; for taking is not idiomatically correct

E      Correct. The three elements in the series are parallel in this sentence, and the last is preceded by and.

The correct answer is E.

我认为to take charge of computer security planning仅仅表creat...的目的。

之所以要用不定式，可能就是逻辑上强调目的的需要吧。

请教用
            for Ving （for taking）这和
            to take 在中文的翻译上有何不同呢？

疑惑…

to do 表示目的 

by  表示以...方式

that will take

takes意思是这个机构已经存在了
