The second option is the answer. The given sentence appears in past tense with the use of- 'made' and 'continued'- and so the improvement is to change- seem- to 'seemed'. This brings the sentence to its right meaning and forms proper grammatical sense. Thus, seemed is the right word for improvement in the given sentence.

Corrected sentence- The promises he had made seemed forgotten and yet, they continued to affect him.
