b. it makes an attempt at humor.

Explanation:

This cover letter is not appropriate for a serious job search. While the letter states the candidate's qualifications, and the job he is looking for, it does not have a professional tone. This is because the candidate makes an attempt at humor. This is not the approach a serious candidate should take and it makes him seem ill-prepared and immature.
