To install a client certificate on a ChromeOS device for corporate Wi-Fi connectivity, it's necessary to force-install the custom extension containing the certificate. This ensures the extension is installed and activated on the device, enabling it to use the certificate for authentication. Here's how it works:

Custom Extension:The admin creates or obtains a custom extension that includes the client certificate.

Force-Installation:Using the Google Admin console, the admin configures a policy to force-install the extension on ChromeOS devices within the organization.

Device Activation:Once the device receives the policy, the extension is automatically installed and activated, even if the user doesn't manually add it.

Wi-Fi Authentication:The installed extension allows the device to use the client certificate for authentication when connecting to the corporate Wi-Fi network.

Option A is incorrectbecause guest mode installations are not persistent and won't apply the certificate to the device's Wi-Fi settings.

Option B is incorrectbecause distributing through the Chrome Web Store is not necessary for a custom extension intended for internal use.

Option D is incorrectbecause while the certificate encoding is important, it's not the primary step for enabling Wi-Fi authentication.
