Answer: A) line segment Explanation: As parabola is a locus of a point, which moves so that its distance from focus and directrix is always equal.   The latus rectum of a conic section is the chord (line segment) that passes through the focus, is perpendicular to the major axis and has both endpoints on the curve.
