What type of action does the pictured firearm have?

Semi-automatic action
Pump action
Bolt action
Lever action

The correct answer is: Pump action

This firearm has a pump action, where the shooter must manually pump the fore-end to load a new round into the chamber. This is different from the other options because A: Semi-automatic action refers to a firearm that automatically loads a new round into the chamber after each shot is fired, without any manual reloading required. C: Bolt action involves manually lifting the bolt handle, pulling back the bolt, and pushing it forward again to load a new round into the chamber. D: Lever action involves manually moving a lever near the trigger guard to load a new round into the chamber.
