Your answer:
—

Correct:
A
Explanation
Option 1 is not correctly matched. Raja Rao is best known as an Indian writer who wrote primarily in English (and early short stories in Kannada), not Telugu; biographical and bibliographic sources identify his major works like Kanthapura and The Serpent and the Rope as English-language novels and list Kannada and English among his languages of writing [2]. The other three pairings are conventionally accepted: G. T. Deshpande is associated with Marathi drama and criticism, Subramaniyam (Subramania Bharati) with modern Tamil poetry, and Tara Shankar Joshi is recognized in Gujarati literature. Therefore the incorrect match in the list is Raja Rao — Telugu (Option 1).
