To find the vertex of the equation, we need to first write it in vertex form:
y = a(x-h)^2 + k
11ec19db_84ff_c78a_9dbe_23fdbb6563af_TBX8673_11 = a(x-0)^2 + 11
11ec19db_84ff_c78a_9dbe_23fdbb6563af_TBX8673_11 = a(x^2)
a = 11 is the vertex.

Since the coefficient of x^2 is positive, the parabola opens upwards, and the vertex is the lowest point on the graph, which means it is a maximum point. Therefore, the answer is C.
