The question "What would you do if you suddenly gained a million dollars?" is an example of a rhetorical question. Rhetorical questions are posed to make a point or to encourage thought rather than to elicit an actual answer. It's not parallel structure because it doesn’t involve a repetition of similar grammatical forms, and it's not an understatement because it doesn't downplay a situation.
is "What would you do if you suddenly gained a million dollars?" a parallel structure, a understatement or a rhetorical question?
