Solution
The correct option is B Save
'Salvage' means rescue (a wrecked or disabled ship or its cargo) from loss at sea.
"an emerald and gold cross was salvaged from the wreck"
In this context, "The attempt made to salvage the ship and its contents was unsuccessful.", 'salvage' means save. Hence, option E is correct and the others are not because they do not provide the appropriate information.
