--explanation--

In Spanish, nationalities change form based on the gender of the person they describe.

Nationalities that end in -o for the masculine form will typically change to -a for the feminine form.

The incorrect pair is Uruguay - Argentino - Argentina because the correct nationalities are Uruguayo (masculine) and Uruguaya (feminine).

Argentino - Argentina are the nationalities for the country Argentina.

The other pairs are correct.
