B. Fixed Time Period Model.

Explanation:

Fixed time period model: It is referred to as an inventory model that counts inventory at every fixed interval of time, like every week, every fortnight, or every month. It generates order quantity, which varies from time to time, depending on the usage rate. There is no fixed order quantity in this inventory system, however, it required higher reserved stock to match the order quantity as a vendor needs to make a periodic visit for counting inventory and place the order as required.
