Detailed Solution

Frequency adverbs are usually put before the main verb (or after the auxiliary verb). Option C is erroneous since "rarely" comes at the end of the phrase, after the primary verb. While the verb "lost" is rarely used at the beginning of a phrase, the tense of the verb "lost" renders the sentence grammatically improper. Furthermore, such a sentence structure is uncommon in spoken English.

Seldom refers to infrequently, rarely. He had hardly ever seen a youngster with such talent, for instance. She rarely, if ever, attends plays and musicals. These days, they hardly ever watch television.

Option A has "rarely" correctly placed before the primary word "lost." As a result, option D is incorrect whereas option A is accurate.
