The correct answer is: Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, and wait before checking it

If a gun fails to fire after pulling the trigger, the recommended action is to keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction and wait before checking it. This is the correct choice because keeping the gun pointed in a safe direction helps prevent accidental injury in case the gun discharges unexpectedly. It is crucial to prioritize safety at all times, and waiting before further inspecting the gun allows you to take necessary precautions and avoid potential dangers.
