Which part of a firearm loads, fires, and ejects shells or cartridges?

Muzzle
Trigger
Action
Stock

The correct answer is: Action

The correct answer is C. Action. The action of a firearm is the mechanism that loads, fires, and ejects shells or cartridges. It is a crucial component that facilitates the entire firing process. The other options are not correct because: A. Muzzle: The muzzle is the front end of the barrel where the projectile exits the firearm. B. Trigger: The trigger is the part of the firearm that, when pulled, releases the hammer to strike the firing pin and ignite the ammunition. D. Stock: The stock is the rear part of the firearm that is held against the shoulder when firing. It is designed to provide stability and support for the shooter.
