The definition of a firearm includes which of the following?

• A. Made for injury
• B. Adapted for injury
• C. A prohibited weapon such as automatic firearms
• D. Carried with intent

Answer: (C)

The key idea being tested is the way a firearm is defined in law: it covers weapons that can discharge a shot or projectile, or are designed or adapted for such discharge. This broad definition includes weapons that are themselves prohibited, such as automatic firearms. So an automatic firearm is considered a firearm by definition, regardless of other legal restrictions on possession. The other options don’t fit because the definition isn’t about whether a weapon is “made for” or “adapted for” injury in those narrow senses, and it isn’t about carrying with intent to use it. It’s about the weapon’s capability or design to discharge a projectile, which is why this choice is correct.
