Answer:
C. horizontal line that is 33.8 units
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume your equation should be ...
The largest denominator in this standard-form equation of an ellipse is under the y-term, so the major axis is vertical. The directrix will be a horizontal line.
The distance from the center to the directrix is always longer than the semi-major axis, so will be more than √169 = 13. This only leaves choice C.
__
If "c" is the center-to-focus distance, it will be the root of the difference of the denominators in the equation:
c = √(169 -144) = 5
For semi-major axis "a", the distance from the center to the directrix is ...
a²/c = (13²)/5 = 33.8 . . . . . matches choice C
