Please identify the type of action of the second pictured firearm:

Semi-automatic action
Pump action
Bolt action
Lever action

The correct answer is: Bolt action

The second pictured firearm has a bolt action, which means that it operates by manually manipulating a bolt to load and eject cartridges after each shot. This type of action is commonly used in rifles, and is different than the other options listed. Semi-automatic firearms automatically load and eject cartridges after each shot, pump action firearms require a pumping motion to load and eject, and lever action firearms use a lever to load and eject cartridges after each shot. Therefore, options A, B, and D are incorrect.
