The answer is hierarchical organisation not merit system, and it is not hereditary

hierarchical organization.the structure how it is arranged,how does power flow.e.g the structure of government in Nigeria is the legislature,Executive and judiciary.we all know the way the president and the legislators come to power through election but we are been asked the structure from the adminclass,proffclass,executive class,clerical,messenger.hope I was concise

The correct answer is: B. Merit system
The structure of the civil service is primarily based on the merit system, where hiring and promotion are determined by qualifications, examinations, and performance—ensuring competence and fairness.
Here’s a quick rundown of the other options:
A. Lateral organisation: Not typically associated with civil service, which favors vertical (hierarchical) structures.
C. Patronage system: Opposite of merit—appointments based on political loyalty or connections.
D. Hierarchical organisation: While the civil service is structured hierarchically, the basis of its structure is the merit system.

The last time I checked the question is not about hereditary is about d structure of civil servant,so the structure means the way it was arranged from the upper class to the lowest....I'm sure the answer is D

Please there are some confusions as to whether it is merit system or hierarchy system. Please explain the correct answer
