B Correct answer
Explanation

Wealth is a stock concept (measured at a point in time), not a flow concept (measured over a period of time). Stock concepts represent accumulation, while flow concepts represent rates of change. Wages, income, and dividends are all flow concepts as they are measured over time periods (monthly, annually). Wealth represents accumulated assets at a specific moment.
