Explanation:

The fragment C of the sentence is erroneous.
The two words ‘advise’ and ‘advice’ are confusing words.
‘Advise’ is a verb which means to offer suggestions or recommend something to someone and ‘advice’ is a noun which means suggestions or recommendations offered for a particular case.
So here in this sentence ‘advise’ should be replaced with ‘advice’, as the sentence says that the person followed his parent’s suggestions and recommendations offered regarding the trouble he was in.
Therefore the correct sentence will be “Whenever I was in trouble I always discussed about it with my parentsand followed their advice.”
Hence option C is the correct answer.
