A wife is on trial for murdering her husband. At trial, the prosecution entered into evidence the fact that the wife fired the gun which killed her husband. The wife testified in her defense that her husband was threatening her with a knife when she picked up the gun and shot him.

A. Yes, as an excited utterance
B. Yes, to impeach the wife and as evidence that she did not act in self-defense
C, No because of the wife's privilege against self-incrimination
D. no, for the purpose of impeaching the wife because the prosecutor did not call her attention to her statement to the officer on cross
