Explanation:

- Section 96 of IPC: This section provides the legal basis for the right of private defense. It explicitly states that nothing is an offense which is done in the exercise of the right of private defense.

- Section 94 of IPC: This section deals with acts done by a person who is compelled by threats, thus exempt from punishment under coercion, not related to private defense.

- Section 95 of IPC: It pertains to acts causing slight harm. This section states that acts causing minimal harm are not worth prosecuting.

- Section 98 of IPC: This section explains that the right of private defense is also applicable against persons of unsound mind or intoxicated persons, not directly defining the right.
