In a parabola, the vertex is located at the maximum or minimum point of the curve.

Since the given parabola opens downwards, it has a maximum point.

Looking at the graph, the x-coordinate of the maximum point is 50 and the y-coordinate of the maximum point is 700.

Therefore the vertex is located at (50, 700).

Correct option: D.
