The actual data itself is not any different from any other data, so you would access the data through the sc.BaseData[][] variable. Refer to the following:
ACSIL Interface Members - Variables and Arrays: sc.BaseDataIn[][] / sc.BaseData[][]

How do I reference a specific option? What is the format in terms of underlying asset, strike price, expiration date?

In general, you need to open a chart in order to get the data.

If you want to open a chart using ACSIL, then you will need to take a look at the symbol format for the service you are using. Refer to the following:

How do I access options data as a secondary series from an ACSIL study, what function would I call? I tried to look up the option codes, but when I clicked on ES and then Get Options, nothing happened.

Update Sierra Chart to the current version:
Software Download: Fast Update

And try again:

but when I clicked on ES and then Get Options, nothing happened.

We do not know what you mean by this but there is no way to get an option chain from ACSIL:
