When can deadly force be legally used in self-defense?

When there is an immediate threat of death or great bodily harm
To protect property
To detain a suspected criminal
In any confrontation

The correct answer is: When there is an immediate threat of death or great bodily harm

Deadly force can only legally be used in self-defense when there is an immediate threat of death or great bodily harm. While the other options may be tempting in some situations, they are not considered valid reasons for using deadly force. For example, using deadly force to protect property or to detain a suspected criminal would most likely be seen as excessive and unjustified. Keeping this in mind, it is important to remember that the use of deadly force should always be seen as a last resort and should only be used in very specific circumstances where there is a clear threat to one's life or physical well-being.
