Error Analysis:
1. Noun modifier "which are crowd-drawing strategies that have been proven amply in the industry already" illogically modifies the noun "interactive displays" as "interactive displays" is not a strategy, but rather the idea "to offer more interactive displays" is a strategy.
2. Since a single strategy is discussed in the sentence, usage of plural verb "have been" is wrong.
Option Elimination:
As per the above mentioned reasons, all options except E are wrong.

The main trick is that the correct meaning intends to modify the clause "the museum administration has begun to offer more interactive displays".
in A: Grammatically, "which are" can correctly modify "displays", and "have been proven" is the correct verb for "strategies".
in B: Grammatically, "which are" can correctly modify "displays", and "has been proven" is the correct verb for "strategy".
However, both are incorrect because the whole clause should be modified, not the noun "displays", so incorrect meaning.
in C: the option tried using "which is" to modify the whole clause, and used "has proven" as a correct verb for "strategy".
however, "Which" can't modify a whole clause, but can only modify nouns, so incorrect grammar.
in D: appositive phrase starting with the noun "strategies" is used.
However, appositive phrase can only modify the precedent noun "displays", but not the whole clause, so incorrect meaning.
in E: absolute phrase "a crowd-drawing strategy that ..." is used, and has been proven" is the correct verb for "strategy".
Absolute phrase can modify the whole precedent clause, which is the correct intended meaning.
