I guess, worded as it is, I would allow myself to be attacked and suffer minor physical injury. The only reason that that is what I chose is because Strange specifically states that I knew that these were my two choices - with nothing in between.
If this question was worded a bit differently and those were the two outcomes, but we didn't "know" the outcomes ahead of time, it's likely (given the choices, anyway) that I would kill the attacker.
Interestingly enough, if you were to replace me with my S/O, I would kill them (again, given these choices) either way - I would to everything in my power to keep my girlfriend free from harm, no matter how minor it is.
For those of you questioning the attacker's motives, I can't say I really agree - nor does it really matter what the motives are. If someone were to walk up to you and begin assaulting/robbing you, typically the victims thoughts aren't something along the lines of "hmm... I wonder if he is mistaking me for someone else, or maybe he's just trying to eat..." You have very little time to think, much less ponder the reasoning behind the attack, I'd imagine. If the situation ever come up and the attackers intentions weren't to kill me or my S/O, but I felt they were, I would do everything in my power to survive. To Kill or Be Killed is not much a philisophical question in my mind - I know which I would chose.
