Which of the following is a shotgun slug?

• A. Wad
• B. Slug
• C. Bullet
• D. Choke

Answer: (B)

A shotgun slug is a single, large projectile fired from a shotgun. Among the options, the slug is the one that represents the actual projectile used in shotgun ammunition for longer-range or big-game shooting. A wad is not a projectile; it’s part of the shell that seals gases and helps separate the powder from the shot. A bullet is a projectile used in rifles and handguns, not a shotgun slug. A choke is a narrowing at the end of the barrel that shapes the shot’s spread; it isn’t a projectile.
