Answer:

Option D. x = (1/4)y².

Explanation:

Option A. y = -(1/4)x²

Opens at vertically down. Therefore not the answer.

Option B. x = -(1/4)y²

Opens at x- axis to the left. Axis of symmetry is parallel to the y- axis.Therefore not the answer.

Option C. y = (1/4)x²

It has the axis of symmetry parallel to the x axis opening vertically up. Therefore not the answer.

Option D. x = (1/4)y²

Parabola defined by this equation has the axis of symmetry parallel to the x axis and opening at right of the x axis.

Therefore option D is the answer.
