Explanation

The proverb 'Barking dogs seldom bite' means that those who make the most noise or threaten the most are rarely the ones who actually cause harm. Dogs that bark aggressively are usually warning or defending territory, not attacking. The other options (regularly, frequently) contradict the proverb's meaning, while rarely is close but seldom is the traditional wording.
