Answer: B
Weber treated bureaucracy as the classic expression of rationalization.
For Max Weber, modern Western society is marked by the spread of formal, calculable, rule-bound action. Bureaucracy, with its fixed jurisdictions, written rules, hierarchy of offices, technical expertise and impersonal procedure, is the organisational form of that process, which is why he called it technically superior to any other form of administration and also warned of an 'iron cage'.
Feminization and democratization are not Weber's terms for bureaucracy; in fact he thought mass democracy tended to increase bureaucratization rather than the reverse. Individualisation is a theme of later writers such as Ulrich Beck, not Weber's account of bureaucracy.
