Which component blocks the trigger?

Explanation:
Blocking the trigger is accomplished by a safety that interrupts the trigger-to-sear path. The FN/FAL’s applied safety is the lever that, when set to Safe, engages the sear so the trigger cannot release it. This prevents the firearm from firing even if the trigger is pulled. The other options refer to different functions—such as bolt locking in the PKM—which do not block the trigger in the same way. So the FN/FAL applied safety is the mechanism that blocks the trigger.
