B Correct answer
Explanation

The src attribute of the tag is used to specify the path to an external JavaScript file. Option A incorrectly uses href (which is for <link> tags), option C incorrectly uses name (which is for form elements), and option D incorrectly uses value (which is for input elements). The type attribute was historically required but is now optional.
