Answer 2

c. active

The best way to close a cover letter is to have what is called a “call to action.”  This, for example, can be done by specifically communicating your eagerness to interview, providing a future date on which you will follow up, and/or reiterating why your qualifications qualify you for the position to which you are applying.
