In a bureaucracy, what is employment typically based on?
a. connections (who you know)
c. red tape
b. first come, first serve
d. specific qualifications

I believe the answer is: D. specific qualifications

Assuming that the bureaucracy is run properly (without nepotism or favouritism) , all members of the bureaucracy should be chosen based on their capabilities to handles some part of government program.

For example, to handle economic related matters, people with strong micro and macro business background would be chosen , to handle foreign relation, people with good law and communication background would be chosen, etc.
