Which repository files are required for a Docker container action and for a JavaScript action to run correctly? (Choose 3)

Explanation

Both action types share required files but each has unique requirements. The action metadata file (action.yml or action.yaml) - Option C - is mandatory for ALL custom actions regardless of type; it defines inputs, outputs, and the runs configuration. A JavaScript action requires a JavaScript entry file (Option A, e.g., main.js or index.js) as specified by runs.main in the metadata. A Docker container action requires a Dockerfile (Option D) to build the container image. Option B (package.json) is commonly present in JavaScript action repositories but is not strictly required - bundled actions can ship dependencies without it.
