Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The term "titular ethnic group" refers to the dominant or majority ethnic group in a region or country. Therefore, in some republics of the former Soviet Union, the combined number of minority ethnic group members was greater than that of the titular ethnic group, but not necessarily greater than the population as a whole or any other ethnic groups.
