D Correct answer
Explanation

Weber's ideal bureaucracy includes job specialization, impersonality, career orientation with advancement based on merit, and hierarchy of authority. Treating the organization as a 'social system' is NOT part of Weber's model - his conception is rational-legal, emphasizing rules, procedures, and formal structure rather than social relationships or informal systems. This is the correct 'not a component' answer.
