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

  1. Barrel

  2. Action

  3. Stock

  4. Trigger

The correct answer is: Action

The action is the mechanism responsible for loading, firing, and ejecting shells or cartridges in a firearm. A barrel is simply the outer metal tube through which the bullet travels. A stock is the part of the firearm that is held by the shooter. The trigger is responsible for activating the action to fire the firearm, but it does not actually load or eject the shells. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
