The pictured item is a:

  1. Telescopic Sight

  2. Laser Pointer

  3. Flashlight

  4. Night Vision Scope

The correct answer is: Telescopic Sight

A telescopic sight is a sight or scope attached to a firearm or crossbow that magnifies the image and provides greater accuracy for shooting. It is different from a laser pointer, which is a small handheld device that emits a focused beam of light, and from a flashlight, which is a portable electric light source. While a night vision scope would also be used for aiming and shooting, it uses infrared technology to allow better visibility in low light conditions, while a telescopic sight simply magnifies the image.
