The correct answer is A) the candidate understates its qualifications.

The cover letter is inappropriate because it understates its qualifications.

When writing a cover letter to an employer, the candidate must express correctly and accurate its qualifications. This means –of course- the candidate is not going to lie or exaggerate its skills, abilities, and experience. But the candidate also needs no to diminishes its qualifications. He/She needs to write what he/she is capable to do in a way that shows he can perform the job. The candidate must demonstrate confidence in its background.
