Which part of a firearm loads, cocks, and fires the cartridge?

  1. Muzzle

  2. Action

  3. Stock

  4. Barrel

The correct answer is: Action

The correct answer is the "Action." The action of a firearm is the mechanism that loads the cartridge into the firing chamber, cocks the hammer or striker, and fires the cartridge when the trigger is pulled. The other options, such as the muzzle, stock, and barrel, do not directly relate to the loading, cocking, and firing of the cartridge.
