    Correct Answer
    A. An unloaded gun
    Explanation
    The term "bluff" refers to a deceptive act or behavior, often used in poker to mislead opponents into thinking that one has a strong hand. An unloaded gun can be seen as a metaphorical representation of a bluff, as it appears to be a threat or danger but lacks the actual power or ability to cause harm. Just like an unloaded gun, a bluff may intimidate or deceive others, but ultimately lacks substance or truth.
