Explanation

The correct answer is Option (C). Based on the provided context, 'Power shared among different organs of government' refers to the horizontal distribution of power among the legislature, executive, and judiciary, which is described as a 'separation' that ensures a balance of power. Thus, item 1 matches with B (Separation of powers). Additionally, the context states that 'Power may also be shared among different social groups' and cites 'Community government' in Belgium as a good example. Thus, item 3 matches with A (Community government). Looking at the options, only Option (C) correctly places B at position 1 and A at position 3.
