in this question, i had eliminated option B. It is said that the process is “PARALLEL”, if it is parallel, then doesn’t it have component parts, with the additional point that it just occurs in a simultaneous fashion?
Yes. A system can have multiple components. And in a parallel processing, all the components of that system are being processed in a single shot simultaneously.
Check out this video, somewhat relevant to your question!!
hey , 
my bad, by option B i meant “II” in the question. So in a parallel process, it does have component parts , but are being processed in a single shot, simultaneously, so option “II” is wrong isn’t it?
Btw, the video is Coool!!! 
Yes, I presumed it that you’re talking about option II.
The option II states, “An object is recognized as a whole without any need for analysis into component parts.” If it would require some time for analysis into component parts, then it wouldn’t be a single-step process, and perhaps it would require two operations, at minimum, to recognize the image. For example, when you see the picture of Monalisa, you recognize it immediately. (assuming you know Monalisa and, in this case, your visual recognition process is parallel.) It’s not something like that your brain would process Monalisa’s eyes as a first component (or a set of first components), then her lips, then her EYEBROWS. And if this were the case, then it would be considered a series processing. In parallel processing, on the other hand, it just happens in a single shot. In other words, an object recognition is computed as a whole, not component by component.
