Which one of the following pairs of travellers and their nationality is not correctly matched?

The pair Jean-Baptiste Tavernier - Dutch is incorrectly matched. Jean-Baptiste Tavernier was a famous French jeweller and traveller who visited India at least six times during the 17th century, specifically during the reigns of Shah Jahan and Aurangzeb [1][2]. He is well-known for his detailed accounts of trading conditions and his fascination with the Mughal Empire [2]. In contrast, Ibn Battuta was a 14th-century Moroccan scholar who traveled extensively across Africa, Asia, and India [1][3]. Duarte Barbosa was a Portuguese official who provided significant accounts of trade and society in South India during the early 16th century [1][2]. Niccolo Manucci was a Venetian (Italian) traveller who served in the court of Dara Shikoh and later wrote about the Mughal Empire [1]. Therefore, Tavernier's nationality was French, not Dutch.
