The second option is Pattern, in this option too you can use the default WordPress block editor and combine different blocks to create your layouts but you have to save it as a Pattern first then you can use it inside the tabs as content.

If you have certain content in a layout that you are using at multiple places on your website and want to display the same in tabs too then the Pattern option would be the best choice.

The advantage of using a Pattern is that if you make any changes to it will automatically update everywhere it is being used.
