Hmm, this one's tricky. But I think Power culture fits best. Foxglove seems to have a top-down, command-and-control kind of vibe going on.

I agree with Tesha, the rigid hierarchy and strict procedures point towards a Task culture.

Definitely got to be a Role culture. All that rigid hierarchy and standardized work screams bureaucracy to me.

I'm going with B. Role. Strict procedures and high work quality sounds like the classic organizational culture where everyone has a defined role to play.
