Solution

The correct option is C x2+y2+2xy4x+4y4=0
The distance between the focus and the tangent at the vertex is |00+1|12+12=12
The directrix is the line parallel to the tangent at vertex and at a distance 2×12 from the focus.
Let the equation of the directirx be,
xy+λ=0
So,
∣ ∣λ12+12∣ ∣=22
λ=2
Let P(x,y) be any moving point on the parabola. Then,
OP=PM
x2+y2=(xy+212+12)2
2x2+2y2=(xy+2)2
x2+y2+2xy4x+4y4=0
