The triangle $PQR$ of area $A$ is inscribed in the parabola $y^2 = 4ax$ such that the vertex $P$ lies at the vertex of the parabola and the base $QR$ is a focal chord. The modulus of the difference of the ordinates of the points $Q$ and $R$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{A}{2a}$
  • B
    $\frac{A}{a}$
  • C
    $\frac{2A}{a}$
  • D
    $\frac{4A}{a}$
