According to section 27 of the Criminal Code, when is it authorized to use force?

  1. To escape from police custody

  2. As much as necessary to prevent an offence causing serious injury or property damage

  3. For personal defense with no limits

  4. Anytime, if not caught

The correct answer is: As much as necessary to prevent an offence causing serious injury or property damage

The correct answer is B because section 27 of the Criminal Code only authorizes the use of force when it is necessary to prevent an offence causing serious injury or property damage. This means that using force to escape from police custody, for personal defense with no limits, or anytime if not caught is not authorized by the law. It is important to note that using excessive force is also not allowed and can result in criminal charges.
