    The revision that corrects the error in the sentence is A. Players must maintain good grades, meet all physical-fitness requirements, and attend practices regularly to play on the varsity team.

    Explanation:

    The sentence Players must maintain good grades, meet all physical-fitness requirements, and attend regularly practices to play on the varsity team sounds awkward because the adverb regularly is improperly separated from the verb it is modifying - attend. Therefore, we call it a misplaced modifier. Option A revise the error by placing the adverb regularly right after the verb (also followed by its direct object,) so that the message is clear.
