Consider the parabola with vertex $\left(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{3}{4}\right)$ and the directrix $y=\frac{1}{2}$. Let $P$ be the point where the parabola meets the line $x=-\frac{1}{2}$. If the normal to the parabola at $P$ intersects the parabola again at the point $Q$,then $(PQ)^{2}$ is equal to :

  • A
    $\frac{75}{8}$
  • B
    $\frac{125}{16}$
  • C
    $\frac{25}{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{15}{2}$
