What is the definition of caliber in relation to firearms?

a device that blocks the action to prevent accidental firing.
scope
the design feature that cause the bullet to spiral for accuracy and distance.
used to describe the size of a rifle bore and the size of cartridges designed for different bores

The correct answer is: used to describe the size of a rifle bore and the size of cartridges designed for different bores

Caliber refers to the specific size and shape of the barrel of a firearm, measured in inches or millimeters. This affects the size of the cartridge and bullet that the firearm can properly use. Option A is incorrect because it refers to a safety feature, not the definition of caliber. Option B is incorrect because a scope is an optic attachment and not related to the size of a firearm. Option C is incorrect because while rifling does play a role in the accuracy and distance of a bullet, it is not the overall definition of caliber.
