Detailed Solution

Option A - The preposition "to" in the provided sentence denotes the movement of the subject "I" towards something – in this example, Delhi and Agra. "With" is often used when two or more things/people act together or are involved. As a result, "with my parents" implies that both the subject "I" and his/her "parents" engaged in the same movement/action. (That is, going to Delhi and Agra.) This is the proper sentence.
Option B – This option alters the meaning of the statement. Using the prepositions in this order would indicate a semantically wrong movement of both the subject "I" and the places "Delhi and Agra" towards the subject's parents.
Option C – "At" is a time-indicating preposition, and when used to denote a location, it refers to a specific location. The names Delhi and Agra do not refer to specific locations, while the word "went" denotes the movement of the subject "I" toward a destination. As a result, using Option C in the above phrase would be inappropriate.
Option D – While "to" is correct (as previously stated), inserting the preposition "by" before "my parents" transforms the subject's parents into a location.

Hence, option A is the correct answer.
