C

You want to choose an assignment of numbers that makes the number of numbers that represent each color be the same.

Numbers 0–33 include 34 numbers. Numbers 0–99 include 100 numbers, so blue blocks are over-represented by scenario A.

Scenario B suffers the same problem as scenario A in that 0–3 includes 4 numbers and 0–9 includes 10 numbers.

Scenario D has the opposite problem: 1–31 is 31 numbers, but 32–63 is 32 numbers. Blue blocks are under-represented in this scenario.

___

Scenario C has 3 of 9 numbers representing each color—just what you want.
