perpetual

futile

apparent

prosperous

- Option 1: Perpetual

- This means something that is ongoing or never-ending. It does not fit the context as it suggests continuity rather than ineffectiveness.

- Option 2: Futile

- This means achieving no result or being useless. It aligns perfectly with attempts that don't bring the desired results.

- Option 3: Apparent

- This means something that is clear or obvious. It doesn't imply anything about the effectiveness or outcome of the endeavors.

- Option 4: Prosperous

- This implies success or wealth, which contradicts the context of unsuccessful attempts.

In summary, "futile" is the apt choice as it describes the endeavors as unproductive.
