How do we define a parabola using its focus and directrix?

a)

A parabola is the set of all points that are the same distance from a single point, called the focus of the parabola, and a line, called the directrix of a parabola.

b)

A parabola is the set of all points that have a greater y value than a single point, called the focus of the parabola, and a lesser x value than a single point, called the directrix of the parabola.

c)

A parabola is a circle with a center point called the focus of the parabola, and a line from the center of the circle to the circle called the directrix of the parabola.

d)

A parabola is a square in which the center of the square is called the focus of the parabola, and the length of one side of the square is called the directrix of the parabola.
