Force is not reasonable if :
Answer: D
Force is not reasonable if it is unnecessary, greater than requisite for the purpose, or disproportionate to the evil to be prevented.
In self-defence and defence of property the force used must be both necessary and proportionate. Section 99 IPC similarly says the right of private defence does not extend to inflicting more harm than is necessary for the purpose of defence.
Force that may cause death can still be reasonable in the cases the law allows, such as a threat of death or grievous hurt. 'Exceeding morality' and 'developing rivalry' are not the legal test.
