What is the Utah law regarding the use of deadly force for self-defense?

It is allowed only within one's home
It is allowed to prevent serious bodily harm or death
It is not allowed under any circumstances
It is allowed only if you are in law enforcement

The correct answer is: It is allowed to prevent serious bodily harm or death

The correct answer is B because Utah has a Stand Your Ground law that allows individuals to use deadly force in self-defense if they reasonably believe it is necessary to prevent serious bodily harm or death. Option A is incorrect because the law extends beyond just one's home. Option C is incorrect because there are specific circumstances in which deadly force is allowed. Option D is incorrect because being in law enforcement does not give an individual a special allowance for self-defense.
