Here's why:
* Intensifiers make the meaning of a word stronger. For example, "very" or "extremely" are intensifiers. "Seldom" doesn't increase the strength of another word; it expresses how often something occurs.
* Interrogative nouns are used to ask questions (e.g., "who", "what", "where"). "Seldom" is not a question word.
* Adverb negative indicates a negative or absence of something (e.g., "never", "not"). While "seldom" implies a lack of frequent occurrence, it's not directly a negative adverb like "never".
Therefore, "seldom" is a frequency adverb that signifies infrequency.
