Without any additional information, we can tell that the parabola is symmetric about the origin (since there are no coefficients or constants). This means that the vertex must be at (0,0), making option B the correct choice. To find the focus, we need to know the equation of the parabola in the form y^2 = 4px, where p is the distance from the vertex to the focus. Unfortunately, we do not have this information, so we cannot find the focus.
