Answer: D
Such a thing is an imitation firearm.
The Arms Act (Explanation to section 28) defines an imitation firearm as anything which has the appearance of being a firearm, whether or not it is capable of discharging any shot, bullet or other missile. Section 28 punishes the use or possession of a firearm or imitation firearm to resist arrest.
Ammunition is what a firearm discharges, not something that looks like a firearm. Prohibited arms are specific dangerous weapons defined in section 2(1)(i). 'Replica firearm' is not a term the Act defines.
