Answer:

b. Bureaucracy

Step-by-step explanation:

Corporation is a group of individuals, created by law or under authority of law, having a continuous existence independent of the existence of its members, and powers and liabilities distinct from those of its members.

Bureaucracy is a structure and regulations in place to control activity. It is also a specific form of organization defined by complexity, division of labor, permanence, professional management, hierarchical coordination and control, strict chain of command, and legal authority.

Conglomerate is a corporation formed by the combination of several smaller corporations whose activities are unrelated to the corporation's primary activity.

Technocracy is a system of governance where people who are skilled or proficient govern in their respective areas of expertise.

From the above definition, the answer is Bureaucracy.
