All of the choices are true. SSB is the sum of squares for blocks, which represents the variability due to the differences between treatment groups. SSB can help reduce the SSE (sum of squares for errors) when calculating the total sum of squares (SST), and also helps in determining whether there are significant differences between the treatment means.
