Explanation:

• The first option has parallel structure issues ("minor" is an adjective, "taking" is a gerund).
• The second option lacks parallelism ("To enjoy" vs. "that you earn").
• The third option lacks parallelism ("To have dreams" vs. "achieving them").
• The fourth option is a complete sentence with correct parallel structure (three verb phrases: "makes enzymes", "removes water", "transports material").
