Let $P(at^{2}, 2at)$, $Q$, and $R(ar^{2}, 2ar)$ be three points on the parabola $y^{2}=4ax$. If $PQ$ is a focal chord and $PK$ is parallel to $QR$, where the coordinates of $K$ are $(2a, 0)$, then the value of $r$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{t}{1-t^{2}}$
  • B
    $\frac{1-t^{2}}{t}$
  • C
    $\frac{t^{2}+1}{t}$
  • D
    $\frac{t^{2}-1}{t}$
