The correct answer is: BASIC.
BASIC (Beginner’s All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) became the most widely used programming language, especially for interactive use on early personal computers.
PL/1 → used in business and scientific applications, less common.
FORTRAN → mainly used in scientific and engineering computations.
PASCAL → popular for teaching structured programming, but less widely used overall.
So, the most widely used among these is BASIC.
