The community government in Belgium is elected by people of a particular language community regardless of where they live, and handles cultural and educational matters — exactly matching option C.

Explanation

The key phrase is "regardless of where they reside" — this rules out federal/state division (which is territory-based). The passage explicitly states the 'community government' is elected by language communities and handles cultural and educational issues. This is the textbook definition of power-sharing among social groups, not among organs, levels, or political parties.
