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

Stock
Barrel
Action
Safety

The correct answer is: Action

The correct answer is C. Action. The action of a firearm is the mechanism that loads ammunition into the chamber, fires the cartridge, and ejects the spent casing. The action is responsible for the cycling of the firearm from loading to firing to ejection, making it an essential part of the functionality of the firearm. In contrast, the stock (choice A) is the back part of the firearm that is held against the shoulder, providing stability and support. The barrel (choice B) is the part of the firearm where the bullet travels through and is propelled out of. The safety (choice D) is a mechanism designed to prevent accidental firing of the firearm and is not directly involved in loading, firing, and ejecting shells or cartridges.
