Under Michigan law, when is it acceptable to use deadly force in self-defense?

  1. To protect personal property

  2. When feeling generally threatened

  3. When facing an imminent threat of death or severe injury

  4. During a verbal confrontation

The correct answer is: When facing an imminent threat of death or severe injury

In Michigan, the use of deadly force in self-defense is only justifiable if there is an imminent threat of death or severe injury. This means that the threat must be immediate and serious, not just a general feeling of being threatened. Option A is incorrect because using deadly force to protect personal property is not considered justifiable self-defense. Option D is also incorrect because a verbal confrontation does not typically constitute a threat of death or severe injury. The answer C is the only option that meets the criteria for justifiable use of deadly force in self-defense according to Michigan law.
