Sight alignment is the process of:

• A. Lining up rear and front sights
• B. Breathing steadily while aiming
• C. Squeezing the trigger without pausing
• D. Scanning the horizon for movement

Answer: (A)

Sight alignment means getting the front and rear sights in a proper relationship to one another so they form a straight line when you aim. When the rear sight and the front sight are lined up correctly, the firearm will point toward where you intend to hit, as long as other parts of the shot, like breathing and trigger control, are managed well. Breathing helps keep the aim steady, but it isn’t about how the sights are lined up. Trigger control is about applying smooth pressure without disturbing the alignment. Scanning for movement is about safety and awareness, not how the sights align. So lining up the rear and front sights is the correct concept of sight alignment.
