Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The complement of event A is the event that two randomly selected Belgians speak different languages. This can happen in two ways: either the first person speaks Dutch and the second person speaks French, or the first person speaks French and the second person speaks Dutch. Therefore, the complement of event A is {(Dutch, French), (French, Dutch)}.
