Identify the action type of the third pictured firearm:

Semi-automatic action
Pump action
Bolt action
Lever action

The correct answer is: Lever action

The third pictured firearm is a lever action because it features a lever that is manually operated to reload the next round into the chamber. This mechanism is commonly found in rifles and shotguns, as opposed to handguns which typically use semi-automatic or revolver action. Additionally, the first two options, semi-automatic and pump action, are incorrect because they do not require manual operation to reload, and instead use gas or recoil to eject and chamber the next round. Option C, bolt action, is also incorrect because it involves manually lifting and pulling back a bolt handle to eject and chamber the next round, rather than using a lever.
