Final answer:

If you intend to become certified as a computer technician in the future, mention this in an attachment or cover letter detailing career goals, rather than under 'skills and qualifications' on an employment application to avoid misrepresentation. The correct option is A. Since you will have the certification eventually, it is correct to put it under "skills and qualifications."

Step-by-step explanation:

When filling out an employment application, it is important to accurately represent your qualifications and future plans.

If you intend to become certified as a computer technician over the summer, the appropriate place to mention this would be in an attachment detailing your career goals and plans, or, if an attachment is not an option, in the cover letter accompanying your application.

More specifically, you could indicate in your cover letter that you are currently pursuing additional certifications and that you are eager to apply these upcoming qualifications to the role you are seeking.

However, do not list it under "skills and qualifications" yet as it could be considered misrepresentation since you have not actually obtained the certification at the time of the application. The correct option is A. Since you will have the certification eventually, it is correct to put it under "skills and qualifications."
