NO. SINGLE SHOT FIREARMS DO NOT HAVE MAGAZINES.

B. single shot is always a break action

NO, THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT ACTION TYPES AVAILABLE AS SINGLE-SHOTS. BREAK-TOP, BOLT-ACTION, FALLING BLOCK, TRAPDOOR, ROLLING BLOCK, AND EVEN LEVER-ACTION. THERE WAS EVEN ONE SINGLE-SHOT REVOLVER, THE RUGER HAWKEYE.
C. A single shot must be reloaded after every shot

TRUE FOR ONCE
