Which of the following firearms is most appropriate for hunting big game?

.22 caliber rifle
12-gauge shotgun with slugs
Air rifle
Paintball gun

The correct answer is: 12-gauge shotgun with slugs

The most appropriate firearm for hunting big game is a 12-gauge shotgun with slugs. This type of shotgun has the power and accuracy needed to take down large animals, such as deer or bears. While a .22 caliber rifle may be suitable for smaller game, it lacks the stopping power needed for larger animals. An air rifle may also be used for hunting, but it may not be legal in all jurisdictions and may not have enough power for big game. A paintball gun would not be an appropriate choice as it is not designed for hunting and does not have the capability to effectively take down big game. It is important to always research and adhere to local laws and regulations when choosing a firearm for hunting.
