In most major metropolitan areas, the number of hate crimes per capita is significantly lower in neighborhoods in which the population is racially mixed, that is, no more than one third of the area’s inhabitants belong to the same ethnic group; it is theorized that a person is less likely to commit a hate crime against someone who he regards as a neighbor.

Option C is definitely wrong. For a quantity word, such as a fraction or a percentage, the associated noun determines whether it is singular or plural. For example:
One-third of the pizza IS eaten.... correct (Pizza singular, so the fraction word "one-third" is singular)
One-third of the pizza slices ARE eaten....correct (Pizza slices plural, so the fraction word "one-third" is plural)
AjiteshArun
However this rule applies for quantity words such as fractions / percentages, but not for actual numbers. For example:
One of the five pizzas IS eaten.... correct
Two of the five pizzas ARE eaten.... correct
Number of Pizzas eaten = one/two - one/two are numbers, not fractions / percentages - hence the rule of associated noun does not apply here.
Dear AjiteshArun, hope you would agree with my view.

Official Explanation
The underlined portion of this sentence contains two errors: a subject/verb disagreement and a misused pronoun. The subject of the clause is one third, which is singular, so it requires the singular verb belongs. Who should be whom. If you have trouble determining whether to use who or whom, restate the sentence substituting he or him for who or whom. In this sentence, someone regards him as a neighbor—since it’s him, use whom. These two errors should allow you to quickly eliminate answer choices that contain one or both of them.
A No. Belong should be belongs to agree with one third and who should be whom.
B No. This choice corrects the pronoun misuse but does not fix the subject/verb disagreement in belong.
C Yes. This choice uses the correct verb belongs and the correct pronoun whom.
D No. Belongs is correct, but who is not.
E No. Although this choice corrects the subject/verb disagreement and the pronoun misuse, it introduces a new error, regards … to be. The correct idiomatic expression is regards … as.
Hope it helps
