Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The blank (H) is followed by the adjective "infrequent". To modify an adjective, an adverb is required.

2. Among the options, only "Relatively" is an adverb, which means "in relation to" or "in comparison with" something else.

3. The other options are either verbs or adjectives and hence cannot correctly modify "infrequent".

4. Therefore, the correct word to fill the blank (H) is **"Relatively"**.

**Answer:** Relatively
