An attempt to salvage the old archived films of Theda Bara, the temptress of the silver screen, begun in the 1950s, has all but failed, except for the rescue of a few films, one namely “A Fool There Was” where Bara made her stardom shine as the Vamp.
An attempt to is the right idiom.A.

has begun in the 1950s to salvage the old archived films of Theda Bara, the temptress of the silver screen
An attempt that
has begun in the 1950s to salvage the old archived films of Theda Bara, the temptress of the silver screen,
has all but failed, except for the rescue of a few films, one namely “A Fool There Was” where Bara made her stardom shine as the Vamp.
option B uses 'HAS' two times that is clearly non-essential.C.
begun for salvaging the old archived films of Theda Bara, the temptress of the silver screen in the 1950s,
makes no sense to say ' an attempt begun...[X] has all but failed
D.
begun to salvaging the old archieved films of Theda Bara, the temptress of the silver screen in the 1950s
E. that
has begun salvaging in the 1950s the old archived films of Theda Bara, the temptress of the silver screen,
Same error as B
Hope it helps !!!!!!!!!
