1) “Have been” is incorrect. Read the sentence again and see what tense is proper.

2) Who is “they”? The sentence should read “scientists” or some other noun. They is incorrect because the sentence doesn’t tell you who “they” are.

3) “In an attempt” is correct.

4) B is incorrect because you cannot have a tendency “of” something. You only have tendencies “to” do something. Bordedom at having may sound awkward, but it’s correct. “The boredom at having to do this is killing me” – That’s still correct wouldn’t you agree?
