Which of the following describes a situation where you may use deadly force in self-defense in Arizona?

To protect personal property
To stop a theft
When fearing for your life or serious bodily harm
To detain a suspected criminal

The correct answer is: When fearing for your life or serious bodily harm

The use of deadly force in self-defense in Arizona is only justified when an individual believes that their life or serious bodily harm is in imminent danger. This belief must be reasonable and based on facts and circumstances. Therefore, options A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not involve a direct threat to an individual's life or serious bodily harm. In addition, using deadly force to protect personal property or to detain a suspected criminal could potentially be seen as excessive and not justified in self-defense. Only option C aligns with the legal standard for the use of deadly force in self-defense in Arizona.
