What is the capital of Belgium?

• A. Gaborone
• B. Belmopan
• C. La Paz
• D. Brussels

Answer: (D)

Capital cities serve as the political and administrative heart of a country, where the government and key institutions are based. Brussels is the capital of Belgium, housing the federal government, parliament, and many ministries, and it also hosts important international organizations like the European Union and NATO. The other cities are capitals of different countries: Gaborone is Botswana’s capital; Belmopan is Belize’s capital; La Paz is the administrative center of Bolivia (with Sucre as the constitutional capital). So Brussels best fits as the capital of Belgium.
