    Solution:

    Statement (A) is true. Belgium and Sri Lanka both looked at moral pressure among different communities. Both countries tackle this issue in their way. The leaders of Belgium adopted a power-sharing arrangement that promoted equal representation of the communities and recognized cultural differences and regional diversities by accommodating both groups. They amended the Belgium constitution four times to solve this issue. Now the Belgian government did not favour either of the communities. In Sri Lanka, the majority community did not share power with the minority community. The majority assessed its will on the minority. The result was a prolonged and disastrous civil war. That undermines the unity of Sri Lanka.
