C Correct answer
Explanation

Option (3) is grammatically the most correct option. Option (1) is incorrect as its construction is not parallel. Option (2) is incorrect because of incorrect use of preposition (over). Option (4) is incorrect as it does not clear ‘singing old…’ what? Option (5) is incorrect as it also does not clear ‘old what…?’ Parallelism demands “moonlit strolls and old songs…”.
