Detailed Solution

Dutch is spoken by 20% of the people of Brussels.
Belgium was established in 1830, the same year that the city of Brussels underwent a linguistic transformation from a metropolis where the maximum population spoke Dutch to one where the majority spoke French. In Brussels, 80 percent of the population considers French to be their first language, but 20% of the population of Brussels speaks Dutch. The majority of the population speaks Dutch. However, there are also sporadic instances of English and German being used. But the two maximum expressed languages are French and Dutch. Therefore, "Dutch" is the suitable answer. In Belgium, Dutch speakers are the majority, while French speakers are the minority.
