Clearly $\mathrm{AC}$ is parallel to y-axis. It's midpoint is $(2,2).$ Thus $\mathrm{B} \equiv(1,2).$

Parabola will be in the form of $\mathrm{(\mathrm{x}-2)^2=\lambda(\mathrm{y}-3).}$

It passes through $(3,2)$

$\mathrm{\Rightarrow 1=-\lambda}$ . Thus parabola is $\mathrm{(\mathrm{x}-2)^2=-1(\mathrm{y}-3).}$

It focus is $\mathrm{x-2=0 . y-3=-\frac{1}{4}}$ , i.e., $\mathrm{\left(2, \frac{11}{4}\right).}$

Hence option 2 is correct.
