{'dutch east indies': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'dutch guyana': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'northerm rhodesia': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'gold coast': [0, 0, 1, 0]}

The correct answer is option 1: Northern Rhodesia. Northern Rhodesia was a British protectorate located in Southern Africa, not in Northern Africa. It is now known as Zambia.

Option 2, Gold Coast, is correctly matched. The Gold Coast was the British colonial name for present-day Ghana in West Africa.

Option 3, Dutch Guyana, is correctly matched. Dutch Guyana refers to Suriname, which was a Dutch colony in South America.

Option 4, Dutch East Indies, is correctly matched. The Dutch East Indies refers to the territories in Southeast Asia that were colonized by the Dutch, including present-day Indonesia.

In summary, all options except for option 1 are correctly matched. Option 1 incorrectly matches Northern Rhodesia as a name for a colonial territory.
