The use of lethal force may be lawful when defending yourself from which attempted crime?

  1. Robbery

  2. Assault with a deadly weapon

  3. Trespassing

  4. Theft

The correct answer is: Assault with a deadly weapon

Lethal force may only be used as a last resort for self-defense against an imminent or ongoing attempt of a violent crime. Out of the given options, only assault with a deadly weapon involves a threat of serious physical harm or death, thus making it the only instance where the use of lethal force may be considered lawful. Robbery, trespassing, and theft may not necessarily pose an immediate threat of deadly force, making them incorrect options for this scenario.
