When can you legally use deadly force in self-defense?

When the attacker threatens to harm you
Only when you are in imminent danger of death or great bodily harm
When someone is stealing your property
Anytime you feel threatened

The correct answer is: Only when you are in imminent danger of death or great bodily harm

Deadly force should always be a last resort and can only be used in self-defense when there is an immediate threat of death or serious physical harm. Option A is not always enough to justify using deadly force as the attacker may not actually pose a serious threat. Option C is incorrect because the use of deadly force to protect property is not considered self-defense. Option D is incorrect because feeling threatened is not enough to justify the use of deadly force.
