Which component of a firearm is responsible for firing the bullet?

Barrel
Trigger
Safety
Stock

The correct answer is: Trigger

The trigger is responsible for initiating the firing sequence in a firearm. The barrel is incorrect because it is responsible for directing the trajectory of the bullet after it has been fired, not for actually firing it. The safety is also incorrect because it is a mechanism designed to prevent accidental discharge, not to actually fire the bullet. The stock is also incorrect because it is simply the part of a firearm that is held and is not involved in firing the bullet at all.
