Look for the subject here, Programs should be the subject, so the verb should be plural, we elinimate A,B

And we also find "and" so the parellel structure should be......................and.......................
C: verb+noun...and....noun, wrong
D: noun...and....prep+verbing, wrong
E: verbing+noun....and.....verbing+noun

Hah, we are happy to go with E, we are gonna marry she,
