Options:
Answer:
D
Solution:
Given the equation of the parabola whose vertex is and equation of directrix is is
Let focus be
Let equation of which is perpendicular to be and it passes through point . So, and equation of become
Now the intersection of will be
Now plotting the diagram we get,

So, foot of perpendicular from on is
Now using the midpoint formula we will find the focus of parabola
Focus is and directrix is
Applying , we get
Comparing with , we get
