{'prominent indian writer language': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'gobind trimbuk deshpande marathi': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'raja rao telugu': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'tara shankar joshi gujarati': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'subramaniyam tamil': [0, 0, 1, 0]}

Option 1: Raja Rao, although he was born in Telugu-speaking family and region, he is notable for his English language contributions in literature rather than Telugu. Hence, his association with Telugu literature in the option is incorrect.

Option 2: Gobind Trimbuk Deshpande, an Indian theatre personality, was indeed a prominent Marathi writer. His association with the Marathi language is correct.

Option 3: There isn`t enough specific information about `Subramaniyam`. However, it is a common Tamil name, and there are several well-known Tamil authors with that name, so this could be correct.

Option 4: The name `Tara Shankar Joshi` appears to be a misprint or confusion with prominent Gujarati writer `Tara Shankar Joshi`. If we consider it as such, the pairing of the Gujarati language is correct.

So, the correct answer is Option 1 which states, incorrectly, that Raja Rao is associated with Telugu literature rather than English.
