Correct Answer: Rarely


Solution : The correct choice will be the third option.

Once in a blue moon is an idiomatic expression that indicates something happens very infrequently or seldom.

So, when someone says an event happens once in a blue moon they mean it happens only on rare occasions and is not a regular or common event.

Therefore, the most appropriate meaning of the idiom once in a blue moon is rarely.
