The correct answer is option C "There could be damage done to the firearm, and serious injury to the shooter".

Explanation:

There could be serious consequences of using the wrong ammunition when a firearm is being loaded. There could be damage done to the firearm, because the cartridge of the firearm could become lodged and could even explode. However, the most serious situation is the injury that the shooter could receive as result of the explosion. The data stamp of the ammunition must be checked to avoid this situation.
