Regularly daily basis

Could anyone help me with this question about “error identification”. Thanks in advance.

Nutritionists recommend (A) that foods from each of the four basic groups be eaten (B) on a regularly (C) daily(C) basis.

I know that the answer is “C. regularly”. However, I don’t understand why can’t we use “regularly” (adverb) here to modify “daily basis”

Hi, I would say that both adjectives modify 'basis', ie on a regular and daily basis. Clive
