usage of more common/more frequently/more often

Question

Imagine this conversation between 2 persons :-
Person A to Person B: This event never takes place.
Person B to Person A: This event is more common (meaning takes place  at regular intervals) than you think.
Person A to Person B: This event never takes place.
Person B to Person A: This event takes place more frequently (occurs more than once) than you think.
Person A to Person B: This event never takes place.
Person B to Person A: This event takes place more often (event occurs more than once) than you think.
Is the usage of more common/more frequently/more often correct in this scenario?

Kate Bunting · Answer

I don't think any of those replies would be made in answer to an assertion that something never happens. B would say something like "Yes, it does - more often than you might think."
The replies you suggest would be more appropriate if A had said "This event hardly ever happens."
