The correct answer is: Only when retreating is not possible and you're in immediate danger

The Maryland law permits the use of deadly force in self-defense only when there is no possibility of retreat and the individual is facing immediate danger. Option A is incorrect because the law does not allow for the use of deadly force to protect property. Option C is also incorrect because the law does allow for the use of deadly force in certain circumstances. Option D is incorrect because the law does not allow the use of deadly force simply based on feeling threatened.
