Explanation:

- Option 1: A person killed a weak woman found stealing at night. This likely exceeds the right of private defense (PD) as lethal force was used unnecessarily.

- Option 2: A person attacked by another with a rod of iron struck a blow with a lath. This seems justified. The defense was proportional to the threat.

- Option 3: A thief was caught red-handed and then beaten until death. This likely exceeds the right of PD as it is excessive and goes beyond reasonable force.

- Option 4: In (a) and (c). Both situations involve excessive force, making this the correct option.

Option 4 is the correct answer.
