Explanation:

1. A crane block is a pulley component that redirects lifting force but does not perform the lifting/lowering action itself.
2. A boom is the long structural arm that positions the load horizontally, it does not lift/lower the load vertically.
3. A hoist is the dedicated crane component that uses a motorized winch and cable system to vertically lift and lower attached loads.
4. A jib is an extension for the boom to extend reach, it does not handle vertical load movement.
