The question asks us to identify the pair of a traveler and their nationality that is not correctly matched. Let`s break down each option:

Option 1: Ibn Battuta - Moroccan. This option states that Ibn Battuta is Moroccan. Ibn Battuta was indeed Moroccan, so this option is correctly matched.

Option 2: Duarte Barbosa - Portuguese. This option states that Duarte Barbosa is Portuguese. Duarte Barbosa was indeed Portuguese, so this option is correctly matched.

Option 3: Jean Baptiste Tavernier - Dutch. This option states that Jean Baptiste Tavernier is Dutch. However, Jean Baptiste Tavernier was actually French, not Dutch. Therefore, this option is not correctly matched.

Option 4: Niccolo Manucci - Venetian. This option states that Niccolo Manucci is Venetian. Niccolo Manucci was indeed Venetian, so this option is correctly matched.

Based on the explanation above, the correct answer is option 3. However, please note that Jean Baptiste Tavernier was French, not Dutch.
