Explanation:

The government employee uses specific computer - engineering knowledge for a particular task (military - only software design), which shows specialization within the bureaucracy. Specialization means employees focus on specific tasks based on their expertise. There is no mention of hierarchy, standardized rules in this context, and limited government is not related to the described activity.

A. Specialization
