Which of the following firearm actions is commonly found on shotguns?

Bolt action
Lever action
Pump action
Rolling block action

The correct answer is: Pump action

Pump action is the correct answer because it is the most common firearm action found on shotguns. In a pump action shotgun, the shooter manually operates a sliding forearm back and forth to chamber a round from the magazine and eject the spent casing after each shot. This action is popular for shotguns due to its reliability and versatility, making it a common choice for hunting, sport shooting, and home defense. The other options are not commonly found on shotguns: A. Bolt action and D. Rolling block action are more commonly associated with rifles. B. Lever action is also more commonly found on rifles, although there are lever-action shotguns available, they are not as common as pump-action shotguns.
