In Michigan, under what circumstance is it legal to use deadly force in self-defense?

When protecting personal property
When preventing a theft
When fearing death or great bodily harm
When someone is trespassing

The correct answer is: When fearing death or great bodily harm

In Michigan, the legal use of deadly force in self-defense is permitted when an individual reasonably believes that they are facing imminent death or great bodily harm. This belief must be objectively reasonable and based on the circumstances as the person honestly perceives them. It is important to understand that in the state of Michigan, the use of deadly force in self-defense is justified only when it is necessary to prevent death or great harm to oneself or others. Therefore, option C is the correct choice.
