I would say c because there is a man breaking into your home and self defence would be appropriate because he is invading your property and may hurt you.

It is C

The best example of self-defense would be the case in which the defendant wounded an armed man who had broken into his home . The fact that the perpetrator had broken into the defendant’s home and was armed would satisfy the “imminent use of unlawful physical force” requirement.
