While a competent bureaucracy can contribute to political stability and economic growth (Option C), these are outcomes of effective implementation, not the defining characteristic of the agency itself. Options A and B describe potential impacts or roles in specific contexts, but the fundamental, universal characteristic of bureaucracy is its function as the executive arm responsible for policy implementation.
