Solution

The correct option is C Community government
The leaders of Belgium came up with a solution for their language conflict. They gave equal representation to both communities in the central cabinet of ministers. They also gave more powers to the state governments. The state governments were not considered subordinate to the central governments. The leaders of Belgium also thought to have a third type of government - the Community Government. Each linguistic community got its Community Government. It was established to resolve language and culture-related issues. And these have helped avoid civic strife between the two communities.
