Correct answer
Explanation
ActionScript is a dialect of ECMAScript, the standardized scripting language specification. JavaScript is the most well-known ECMAScript implementation, but ActionScript (used in Adobe Flash) was also built on the ECMAScript standard. The other options are not ECMAScript dialects: AppleScript is Apple's native scripting language, PostScript is a page description language, and VBScript is Microsoft's Visual Basic scripting language.
