Which part of a firearm loads, fires, and ejects the ammunition?

Muzzle
Action
Stock
Barrel

The correct answer is: Action

The muzzle is the front end of the firearm and does not play a role in loading, firing, or ejecting ammunition. The stock is the back end of the firearm and is used for shouldering and stability while firing, but it does not perform the functions listed. The barrel is the part of the firearm that the ammunition travels through, but it does not load or eject the ammunition. The correct answer is the action, which is the mechanism responsible for loading, firing, and ejecting the ammunition.
