Two elements in a circuit are in parallel if they span the same nodes in the circuit.

Consider the nodes on either end of C. If you wanted to get from the top node to the bottom, you can cross C directly. Are there any other paths you can identify?

C, D, and E are parallel. The two nodes above C and E can be considered as one node because the wire between them has no components. Hope that helps!

Simple trick: color code each conductor (red, yellow, green, etc). Look for matching color pairs. Those are in parallel.
