Explanation:

In writing, it is recommended to use the same grammatical structure for introducing elements of the same importance or kind; this is known as parallelism or parallel structure. This implies, in the sentence presented the best is to use three adjectives to describe the film, and therefore the best version is option C because, in this, the film is described as "to be slow, excruciatingly boring, and (worst of all) predictable". Moreover, in other sentences, there is no repetition of the same structure or parallelism and this is not ideal.
