The correct option is both assertion and reason are false.

• Belgians had adopted a power-sharing system where all the communities were exhibited uniformly.
• A government like that had the authority over matters like culture, education, and language. It aided in the resolution of conflicts between various ethical groups by protecting the interests of its own.
• This helped to de-escalate tensions between the various populations.  As a result, they did not favour any specific community.
• Therefore, both assertion and reason are false.
