B clearly....
we use like to compare proper nouns, we use as to compare verbs. also we use like to compare things which are similar, we use as to compare or list exactly the same type of things....

OA is B. We're trying to compare two items: "as infrequently as..." or "as daily as"...

I don't think OA is correct. I will rather categorize this as one of the those dubious questions.
Reason: We always use "as (adjective) as" and "infrequently" is an adverb not an adjective.
I would appreciate any counter-argument.
