Which part of the firearm loads, fires, and ejects cartridges?

The trigger
The action
The barrel
The safety

The correct answer is: The action

The correct answer is B: The action. The action is the part of the firearm that loads a cartridge into the chamber, fires the cartridge by striking the primer, and then ejects the spent cartridge casing. The action includes components such as the bolt, slide, or revolver cylinder, depending on the type of firearm. The trigger is responsible for initiating the firing sequence when pulled, the barrel serves as the channel through which the bullet travels, and the safety is a mechanism to prevent the firearm from discharging unintentionally.
