Answer:

affirmative defense

Explanation:

According to my research on different laws and regulations, I can say that based on the information provided within the question Dan's claim of self-defense is an example of an affirmative defense. This is a set of facts that if proven lessens or completely gets rid of the legal consequences of the defendant's crime. Which in this claim if the self-defense example is proven to be true, then Dan would no longer be in trouble and the law suit would be thrown out by the judge.
