The correct answer is:
$y^2=4 a x$
Given, equation of parabola
$$
x^2=4 a y
$$
Then,

On rotating the axes anti-clockwise through angle $90^{\circ}$, $X$-axis becomes $Y$-axis and $Y$-axis becomes $X$-axis.
Therefore, the equation of new parabola after rotation is $y^2=4 a x$.
$$
x^2=4 a y
$$
Then,

On rotating the axes anti-clockwise through angle $90^{\circ}$, $X$-axis becomes $Y$-axis and $Y$-axis becomes $X$-axis.

Therefore, the equation of new parabola after rotation is $y^2=4 a x$.
