{'discriminaion': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'constitution': [39, 3, 11, 39], 'criterion': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'caste': [1, 0, 0, 1], 'language': [11, 3, 1, 9]}

In Article 15 of the Constitution, discrimination by the State is prohibited on various grounds. This means that the State cannot discriminate against its citizens based on these factors. The options given in the question are: place of birth, race, language, and caste.

Option 1 states that place of birth is a criterion on which discrimination is prohibited. This means that the State cannot discriminate against someone based on where they were born.

Option 2 states that race is a criterion on which discrimination is prohibited. This means that the State cannot discriminate against someone based on their race or ethnicity.

Option 3, which is the correct answer, states that language is not a criterion on which discrimination is prohibited. This means that the State can potentially discriminate against someone based on the language they speak.

Option 4 states that caste is a criterion on which discrimination is prohibited. This means that the State cannot discriminate against someone based on their caste.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 3.
