Final answer:

Explanation:

In a tactical situation, the proper reload procedure is to remove the magazine, insert a new one, rack the slide, and manually chamber a round. This ensures that a fresh round is chambered and the firearm is ready to fire.

Dropping the empty magazine, inserting a new one, and racking the slide (option A) may not chamber a round, leaving the firearm inoperable.

Locking the slide back, removing the magazine, inserting a new one, and releasing the slide (option B) may cause a delay in chambering a new round if the slide does not release properly.

Removing the magazine, inserting a new one, and racking the slide (option C) may also fail to chamber a round.
