For the 100th time, the answer is "C"!
For accuracy the trigger should be squeezed slowly and with steady pressure. When the trigger breaks and the round fires, it should almost be a surprise to you.
If it isn't, then you are anticipating the shot.
email if you have any more questions, I am always willing to help out a new shooter!

Part of the answer is C. If you pull slow and steady but you have your finger jammed in to the second knuckle you'll still pull the shot to the side. You need to use the pad of your finger from the tip to the first knuckle the closer to the center of the pad the better. This is a good pull for rifle or shot gun for pistol you can line that crook where your first knuckle is center on your trigger for accurate speed shooting or just shooting in particular. If you go past that first knuckle you will pull the shot to the side as you pull the trigger. Unless your shooting from a solid rest. Practice too. Get snap caps for your pistol, shotgun, rifle. Put one in take a stance and aim at a target and pull the trigger slowly and see if you sights move. After a while you'll find what works for you to keep everything rock steady on the target. Always remember that every single thing you do at the back of the gun from pulling the trigger to breathing affects what happens at the front.

when pulling a trigger you want to use the tip of your finger and apply a slow steady pull until the gun fires. If you pull to fast or jerk, your shot will be inaccurate because it will move your gun. Try to imagine , if you pulled the gun just 1/16 of an inch at the tip of the barrel ,how far off the shot would be off at 100 ft.Never hurry your trigger pull, as this is the most common cause of buck fever(missing your shot because you got to excited while aiming and hurried)Believe me the 1/4 of a second that you save by hurring will gain you nothing but shooting innocent thin air.

Slow and steady pressure.
Depending on your weapon and ammo of choice, the others really wouldn't matter.
If your using the standard scatter-shot for hunting, it wouldn't make a difference, the pellets would hit anything and everything in front of them, still.. I would recommend Slow and Steady.
If your using a rifle (Bolt-Action being my favorite) you will want a good scope and to pull the trigger slow and steady, breathe easily as well, try not to move the weapon too much.
By the way, I've never been hunting, so my recommendations and advice is completely un-professional, but I'm certain that they are good pointers due to a close friend.

'C" is the answer, but the key to accuracy is that you cannot anticipate the shot or you will shoot low. You must trick your brain into being surprised when the gun fires. If you are shootng a handgun, use the 60%-40% rule when using both hands. 40% of pressure on hold from the main hand, and 60% from the support hand. Sounds odd, but this makes you shoot more straight. Another key is usuing the right amount of finger-pad on the trigger. Too much make you shoot to the right and too little will make you shoot toward the left.

Apply a slow steady pressure and a slow steady release. The bang should surprise you and make sure you focus on your target.

Finger tip and slow even pressure. Jerking the trigger moves the muzzle which moves the POI

Just squeeze the shots off with an even pull,
but keep your focus on your sight picture,
not the trigger.
There's actually a followthrough to shooting
a weapon.
After the weapon discharges, try to return to
your sight picture.
You'll be surprised how this will improve your
shot group.

well really it is b and c, it is b because you need to use only your fingertip, but it needs to be slow steady pressure until the gun fires, and it should suprise you
