The scientists are not sure how such huge and heavy blocks were transported to the top of the pyramid, but they are pretty sure that they were transported as huge pieces: otherwise we would be seeing the cracks in the blocks today.

So the correct answer is:

a. They broke up the blocks into small pieces, which were then assembled wherever they were intended to be placed.
