When is it legally justified to use deadly force in self-defense?

When the attacker is insulting you
Only when there is an imminent threat of death or great bodily harm
When someone trespasses on your property
To prevent a theft

The correct answer is: Only when there is an imminent threat of death or great bodily harm

Using deadly force in self-defense is only legally justified when there is an imminent threat of death or great bodily harm. It is not justified simply because someone insults you, trespasses on your property, or is attempting to steal from you. The law recognizes that self-defense is only necessary as a last resort in situations where one's life is in danger. Therefore, the other options are incorrect because they do not meet the criteria of an imminent threat of death or great bodily harm.
