    To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

    1. The vertex i at (0, 36) and a focus at (0, 39), then you have:

    a=36

    a^2=1296

    2. The directrix is:

    y=a^2=c

    c=39

    y=1296/39

    y=432/13

    Therefore, the answer is the option D, which is: D. y=± 432/13
