Answer: Option 'B' is correct.

Explanation:

Parabola is a curve in which any given point is at equal distance from focus i.e. a fixed point and directrix i.e. a fixed line.

So, it is the set of all points forming the curve that is equidistant from a single point and a single line.

Hence , option 'B' is correct.
