I think the main goal of software testing is to detect defects, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the only purpose.

I'm a little confused by this question. Is the purpose of testing just to find defects, or is it also about validating the design and functionality? I'll have to think about this one a bit more.

Okay, let me think this through. The purpose of testing is to find defects, but it's also to validate that the application is working as expected. I'll go with B - demonstrate that the application works properly.
