Answer 1

Hint:Belgium, a Western European republic, is renowned for its mediaeval cities, Renaissance architecture, and the European Union and NATO headquarters. In matters such as culture, education, language and health care, the municipal councils and the legislative bodies decide.

Complete answer:
Dutch-speaking Flanders to the north, French-speaking Wallonia to the south and a German-speaking population to the east are distinct regions of the world. Brussels, the bilingual capital, has ornate Grand-Place guildhalls and elegant art-nouveau houses.Belgium is split between the Flemish Community, the French Community and the German-speaking Community.All the inhabitants of Flanders and the Brussels-based Flemings are part of the Flemish Culture. The Brussels Flemings live and speak Dutch in the bilingual Brussels-Capital City.Both the people of Wallonia and the French-speaking inhabitants of Brussels form part of the French Community.In the east of Belgium, the German-speaking Community includes all the inhabitants of the nine German-speaking municipalities.

Two major linguistic and ethnic groups are composed of Belgians; the Dutch-speakers are called the Flemish and the French-speakers are mostly called the Walloons and a third small but constitutionally recognised group from two small German-speaking regions.In Belgium, the question of power sharing between the Dutch-speaking and French-speaking people was the biggest political problem.

Hence, the correct answer is option (A).

Note:French speakers have benefited from the growth of the economy.French people were well-qualified and trained.They were well-settled and, thus, affluent and influential because of their skills and education.While Belgium has many distinctive national dishes.
