Answer:

Directrix

Step-by-step explanation:

The directrix of a parabola is the line, along with a point not on the line (which is the focus), which is used to generate a parabola.  The directrix is parallel either to the x- or y-axis, and is perpedicular to the parabola's axis of symmetry (at x = h).      

Therefore, the correct answer is "directrix."
