Ah, so we're testing the testers now? D) is a bold move, but I don't think I'd recommend it unless you're a professional penetration tester.

Running tests to find as many defects as possible is a noble goal, but I don't think that's the best description of defect taxonomies. Hmm, tough choice here.

I'm leaning towards B) following a defect management process. That seems like a logical way to handle the defects discovered during testing.

D) Using a list of known defect types to penetrate security systems? That's just asking for trouble! I hope no one tries that approach.

Grouping defects by functional areas sounds like a good way to organize and analyze the issues found during testing. I think that's the right answer here.
