Which one of the following equations,represented parametrically,represents a parabolic profile?

  • A
    $x = 3 \cos t; y = 4 \sin t$
  • B
    $x^2 - 2 = -2 \cos t; y = 4 \cos^2 \frac{t}{2}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{x} = \tan t; \sqrt{y} = \sec t$
  • D
    $x = \sqrt{1 - \sin t}; y = \sin \frac{t}{2} + \cos \frac{t}{2}$
