Answer 1

Answer:

C. ideal type.

Explanation:

                 Max Weber was a German sociologist. He was famous for his bureaucracy theory. According to theory of bureaucracy given by Max Weber, bureaucracy is the systematic formation for any organization. It is considered as the most rational and efficient way to organize human activity. It is designed as the ideal model for administration and management to maximize efficiency and maintain order.
