UGC NET 2015 Paper 1 Question Paper (27-Dec-2015)
The correct answer is

(a) only

JavaScript was created at Netscape, and its curly-brace syntax was loosely modelled on Java, which also helped its marketing name.

It is not a cut-down Java: it is a separate, dynamically typed, prototype-based language with its own engine.

Neither language originated on the island of Java; Java was developed at Sun Microsystems.

Hence, (a) only.
