Option C is a bit too narrow. Non-functional testing is about more than just handling software malfunctions - it's about overall system performance and quality.

I'm not sure Option B is entirely accurate. ISO 9126 is a quality model, not necessarily the sole purpose of non-functional testing.

Option A seems to be the most comprehensive description of non-functional testing. It covers the key aspect of measuring system characteristics beyond just functional behavior.

I agree with Shaniqua, it's about how the system performs its functions.
