Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is E, none of the other choices. The use of deadly force is generally not justified in protecting property alone, such as in the case of theft of hubcaps. The principle of using force reasonable under the circumstances typically does not extend to killing or shooting the thief, especially when the threat does not pose imminent danger to life. The options suggesting the use of deadly force or "all force necessary" do not align with legal standards in most jurisdictions, which emphasize proportionality and the necessity of the force used in relation to the threat faced.
