IMO D. In an attempt seems correct and usage of simple past gifted is ok.

same reasons...whats d answer? Great work guys, you all were spot on. It was an easy question, I suppose. Nobody even bothered to explain the options.  Here is OE “Gifted for” is unidiomatic, it should be “gifted to” “has gifted” is the incorrect tense since the sentence is in the past tense. “Which” incorrectly refers to HBS Plural “they” incorrectly refers to the singular HBS Use of “being” makes the sentence passive and awkward

A. In October, the chairman of Tata Sons, Ratan Tata, gifted $50 million for his alma mater, the Harvard Business School to give back to the school a little bit of what it
B. In October, the chairman of Tata Sons, Ratan Tata, has gifted $50 million to his alma mater, the Harvard Business School, which is an attempt to give back to the school a little bit of what it

E. In October, the chairman of Tata Sons, Ratan Tata, decided to gift $50 million to his alma mater, the Harvard Business School, it being an attempt to give back to the school a little bit of what it
HBS is singular -> Eliminate D; Gifted for is incorrect eliminate A; It being is wrong -> Eliminate E; Which refers to HBS in B -> Incorrect. D Wins.
