Explanation

The defining purpose of machine learning is to enable systems to perform tasks that would traditionally require human intelligence - such as classification, prediction, decision-making, and pattern recognition - by learning from data rather than following explicitly programmed rules. Option A (visual patterns and trends) describes a narrow subset covered by computer vision, not ML broadly. Option B (explainability) is actually a challenge that ML struggles with, not its objective. Option D conflates ML with artificial general intelligence and mischaracterizes statistical inference as the goal rather than a mechanism.
