Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation
The parabola is best described by the equation x = y2 - k because all other equations do not give the equation of the parabola in this position. C for example is the equation of a hyperbola facing downwards. D is the equation of a hyperbola A and E are equations of parabola facing upwards
