It should be PARABOLIC.

2D flows are represented by a curve (parabolic).

C. Hyperbolic is the right answer.

Given the velocity components u= ax andv = by, v can derive the streamlines.

The equation for streamlines in 2D flow is dy/dx = v/u = by/ax.

Solving this, we get xy = constant, which represents hyperbolas.
