Under Utah law, when is the use of deadly force justified for self-defense?

Only when retreating is not possible
To prevent a felony from occurring
When fearing serious bodily injury or death
In all cases of trespassing

The correct answer is: When fearing serious bodily injury or death

In Utah, the use of deadly force for self-defense is justified when an individual reasonably believes that there is an imminent threat of serious bodily injury or death to themselves or others. This concept is known as the "reasonable belief standard" and is a key factor in determining the justification for using deadly force in self-defense situations. The other options are not comprehensive enough to cover the criteria required under Utah law for the justified use of deadly force in self-defense.
