I'm going with option A. Testers are like the superheroes of the software world - we don't prevent crime, we just swoop in and save the day when it's already happened!

Option A is clearly the odd one out. Preventing defects is the job of the developers, not the testers. We're here to catch what they missed, not stop them from making mistakes in the first place.

This is a trick question - they're all valid objectives of testing! Gotta love these certification exams, always trying to catch you out.

I'd say option D is not a valid objective. Testing is more about evaluating the system, not making decisions for stakeholders. That's their job.

User 3: Yeah, stakeholders should use the information from testing to make decisions.

Definitely option A. Testing is all about finding defects, not preventing them. Developers should be doing that before the code even reaches the testing phase.
