Solution

The correct option is A $y = x^{2}$
Graph of $y = - x^{2}$ is same as the graph of Graph of $y = x^{2}$ but it will have negative values as the coefficient of $x^{2}$ is negative.
Both the graph looks same with the only difference that the graph of $y = - x^{2}$ is will open downward, and looks like mirror image about $x$ -axis as shown below:
