Under Michigan law, the use of deadly force is only justified when:

  1. The property is being trespassed

  2. You want to detain a suspect

  3. You reasonably believe it is immediately necessary to prevent death or great bodily harm

  4. You are trying to stop a minor theft

The correct answer is: You reasonably believe it is immediately necessary to prevent death or great bodily harm

According to Michigan law, the use of deadly force is only justified if a person reasonably believes that it is immediately necessary to prevent death or great bodily harm. This means that options A, B, and D are all incorrect because they do not meet the criteria of immediate necessity to prevent death or great bodily harm. Trespassing on property, detaining a suspect, and stopping a minor theft do not pose an immediate threat of death or great bodily harm. Therefore, only option C meets the requirements for the justified use of deadly force.
