I have read in some GMAT materials that the word "likely" can only function as adjective and not adverb. Choice B, the correct answer, has "likely" function as adverb, can an expert clarify the use of "likely"?

It's still not clear how using "more than likely" is justified meaning-wise. I've always thought that in GMAT changing meaning can only be justified if the original sentence is nonsensical.

"More than likely" indicates a very high level of certainty, whereas "more likely" is equivalent to probably.
