The incorrectly matched pair is Masai - West Africa. The correct habitats for the tribes mentioned are:

  • Eskimo (Inuit): Inhabit the circumpolar Arctic regions, including Northern Canada, Alaska, and Greenland.
  • Pygmy: Various ethnic groups living in the tropical rainforests of the Congo Basin in Central Africa.
  • Masai (Maasai): A Nilotic ethnic group inhabiting the Great Lakes region and savannas of East Africa, primarily in Kenya and northern Tanzania. They are not found in West Africa.

Since only statement 4 is incorrect, the correct option is A.
