Explanation:

The underlined part in the given sentence is grammatically incorrect. Here, 'had listened' should be used instead of 'were listening'.
The structure of these kinds of sentences is: wish + past perfect is used to express regret, or that we want a situation in the past to be different,
Example: I wish I hadn't eaten so much. (I ate a lot)
Thus, the correct answer is Option 4.
Correct Sentence: I wish I had listened to my parents.
