Retirement tax questions

My wife was the beneficiary (along with her two siblings) of a small annuity when her mother passed away in 2019 (at the age of 80).  She received a 1099-R showing the Gross Distribution.  It was a "total distribution" and not taxable. 

 

Any Periodic Payments.................The question asks:  Did "MY WIFE" receive payments from this retirement account on a regular basis such as monthly, quarterly or annually?

 

Since it was not my wife's retirement account, I'm not sure how to answer this.  I believe my mother-in-law was receiving an annual distribution. But "my wife", of course was not receiving anything.  Thank you for your assistance.
