- BGobind Trimbak Deshpande : Marathi
- CSubramaniyam Bharati : Tamil
- DTara Shankar Joshi : Gujarati
Explanation
The correct answer is A.
Explanation:
A. Raja Rao — Telugu: This is not correctly matched. Raja Rao was a prominent Indian writer known for his works in English, such as "Kanthapura" and "The Serpent and the Rope." He did not primarily write in Telugu.
B. Gobind Trimbak Deshpande — Marathi: This is correctly matched. Gobind Trimbak Deshpande was a known Marathi writer and poet.
C. Subramaniyam Bharati — Tamil: This is correctly matched. Subramaniya Bharati (Bharathiyar) was a celebrated Tamil poet, journalist, and independence activist, considered a pioneer of modern Tamil literature.
D. Tara Shankar Joshi — Gujarati: While the more famous Gujarati writer is Umashankar Joshi, who was a renowned Gujarati poet and writer, if "Tara Shankar Joshi" refers to a specific writer, the primary mismatch is still Raja Rao with Telugu. Raja Rao's primary language of literary creation was English, making option A the most definitively incorrect match.
