If I follow the rule of parallelism. That indicates to+verb, to+ verb & to+verb. So, why will option B not be the answer?

It should be 'to work within the deadline'.

No, it's not a noun.

To never takes verb+ing after it how is it possible?

Sushovan said:   9 years ago
Agree @Ram.

Here working acts as a noun.

Ram said:   9 years ago
Gerund rule.

Whenever verb acts as a noun (work),then the sentence should be preposition + noun+ ing.

What is the behind adding ing after to?

Abhinash said:   9 years ago
Brothers its gerund. In gerund we can put "ing" in a verb after "to".

Vimal said:   10 years ago
I agree with those 3 guys who asked why the "ing" form is used after "to" ?
