Cevap

The word 'ossification' (or contextual synonyms such as 'rigidity' or 'inflexibility') correctly completes the sentence by describing the process of regulatory frameworks becoming hardened and unyielding.
The correct response captures the idea of administrative rules turning fixed and inflexible, as indicated by surrounding clues such as 'over-codified' and 'rigid'. Terms like 'ossification' or 'inflexibility' convey this precise contextual meaning of system hardening.
