Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of a parabola is

           ..... (1)

Where, (h,k) is vertex, (h,k+p) is focus and y=k-p is directrix.

1. The directrix of a parabola is y=−8 . The focus of the parabola is (−2,−6) .

                  ...(a)

           .... (b)

On solving (a) and (b),  we get k=-7 and p=1.

Put h=-2, k=-7 and p=1 in equation (1).

Therefore option A is correct.

2 The directrix of a parabola is the line y=5 . The focus of the parabola is (2,1) .

                  ...(c)

           .... (d)

On solving (c) and (d),  we get k=3 and p=-2.

Put h=2, k=3 and p=-2 in equation (1).

Therefore option D is correct.

3. The focus of a parabola is (0,−2) . The directrix of the parabola is the line y=−3 .

                  ...(e)

           .... (f)

On solving (e) and (f),  we get k=-2.5 and p=0.5.

Put h=0, k=-2.5 and p=0.5 in equation (1).

Therefore option D is correct.
