an adverb usually ends in -ly and modifies a adjective, verb or another adverb. out of these choices, the third one is the only one which begins with "softly" and "softly" changes the way the students tuned their instruments. before specifying softly, that verb was up for interpretation--they could have tuned them loudly, or disrespectfully, or slowly, etc.

Based on the given sentence above, the correctly rewritten sentence for it so that it begins with an adverb would be the first sentence. "Having found their seats, the members of the orchestra began to tune their instruments." Putting an adverb at the beginning of the sentence is putting it at the start of the subordinate clause and starts with a past participle. Hope this answer helps.
