The correct option is: "2) bureaucracy"

The bureaucracy is the organization or structure that is characterized by centralized and decentralized procedures, division of responsibilities, specialization of work, hierarchy and impersonal relationships. The term is used in sociology, in administrative science and, especially, in public administration. It could be defined as a set of techniques or methodologies willing to learn or rationalize external reality (to which the central power aims to control) in order to know it and call it in a standardized or uniform way. A clear example of this characteristic of bureaucracies, particularly those of government, is the hiring and assignment or removal of personnel, that is, officials, according to explicit criteria and relevant to the performance of functions.
