Answer is B, block grants.

Explanation:

Block grant is a grant, that is, amount of money or financial assistance from a central government which is awarded or distributed to the local authorities, that is, the state and the local governments, to execute or fund some specific projects in their communities.

This grant could be awarded annually or quarterly depending on the constitution, situation or source of the money for the funding.
