How to reload a pistol
Treat every firearm as if it is always loaded.
Keep your finger off the trigger unless you are ready to shoot. Do not point a gun at anything you are not willing to shoot or destroy.

Available options:
(a). Focus on the location where you want to aim. For the most accurate shot, aim in different spots.
(b). Before you begin firing, put on your protective gear. This includes headgear, a helmet, and a mask.
(c). Keep the firearm pointed toward the target or a safe backstop at all times. If a semi-automatic pistol has been shot empty, the slide will usually lock back after the last shot.
(d). Having a conscious awareness of your surroundings will help to improve the feel of your firearm. Weapons like the mp40 may be fully loaded if you need to change the sights.
Answer:
(c).
