The option [E] gives a parallel infinitive form of the verb in both the parts of the sentence i.e. "to encourage Turkey" and "to withdraw from", which no other choice provides. I believe that plays an imp factor in the choices as well and can be easily detected.
Please correct me if I am wrong!

Hi arpanpatnaik, that expression is not a form of parallelism.
Parallelism is used to express "parallel ideas" so "to encourage Turkey to withdraw from" is not Parallelism just because both have "to + VERB".
Example:
The US president in his last speech encourage Turkey to withdraw from the war, and to open its internal market to the world.
Here the speed encourages Turkey to do two things and those must be parallel
*to withdraw (...)
*to open (...)
In the above example "to encourage Turkey to withdraw" is not Parallelism, hope it's clear
And shaileshmishra correctly points out that parallelism is often marked by words such as "and, Both X and Y, or"
Ohh I am sorry I think my post was misleading. Actually by parallel i meant the structures of both the parts i.e.
to encourage Turkey
to withdraw...
are in agreement. They are both in 'Infinitive Form'. All the other choices, do not offer that option. My objective was never to question the idea movement, I was just referring to those structures(form of the verb) being similar or parallel
The structure agreement is what strikes instantaneously when you see the choices and can be used to determine the answer a lot faster Regards,
