The barrel (choice A) is responsible for guiding and accelerating the projectile as it travels down the barrel after being fired. The stock (choice C) is the part of a firearm that you hold against your shoulder to stabilize and aim the weapon. The trigger (choice D) is the mechanism used to initiate the firing sequence of the firearm.
