(A) Depoliticised bureaucracy
(B) Semi-politicised bureaucracy
(C) Committed bureaucracy
(D) Fully politicised bureaucracy

Answer 1

Hint: The term bureaucracy may denote both to a figure of non-elected governing administrators and to an organizational strategy-assembly group. Factually, a bureaucracy was a government administration administered by branches operated with non-elected bureaucrats.

Complete answer:
Though the term "bureaucracy" initially commenced in the mid-18th century, prearranged and reliable managerial arrangements occurred much prior. The growth of inscription and the use of brochures was perilous to the management of this arrangement, and the primary conclusive advent of bureaucracy happened in ancient Sumer, where a developing class of transcribers used clay tablets to manage the yield and to assign its pickings. Ancient Egypt also had an inbred class of transcribers that managed the civil-service bureaucracy. An order of provincial proconsuls and their delegates managed the Roman Empire. The improvements of Diocletian (Emperor from 284 to 305) creased the number of managerial regions and preceded a large-scale growth of Roman bureaucracy. The initial Christian writer Lactantius declared that Diocletian's improvements led to extensive economic sluggishness, as "the regions were separated into minuscule percentages, and numerous presidents and a horde of mediocre officers lay heavy on each land." After the Empire fragmented, the Byzantine Empire established a disreputable complex managerial order, and in the 20th century, the term "Byzantine" came to denote any multifaceted bureaucratic edifice.

Thus, option (C) is correct.

Note: Karl Marx hypothesized about the part and purpose of bureaucracy in his Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right, issued in 1843. In Philosophy of Right, Hegel had reinforced the role of dedicated bureaucrats in public management, though he never used the word "bureaucracy" himself. By disparity, Marx was divergent to bureaucracy. Marx postulated that while commercial and government bureaucracy seems to function in disagreement, in reality, they jointly depend on one another to survive. He penned that "The Corporation is a civilian society's effort to become a state, but the bureaucracy is the state which has actually made itself into civilian society."
