Deadly force, as defined in the material, means force likely to cause death or great bodily harm.

• A. Minor injury
• B. Non-lethal injury
• C. Property damage only
• D. Death or great bodily harm

Answer: (D)

Deadly force means using force that is likely to cause death or serious injury. The correct option matches this exactly by stating death or great bodily harm. The other choices don’t fit because they describe outcomes that don’t reach that level of harm: minor injuries and non-lethal injuries aren’t at the deadly level, and property damage only involves harm to property with no bodily injury. Including both death and great bodily harm covers the full threshold described for deadly force.
