А.

The correct answer is B) Father Hidalgo.

Father Hidalgo abandoned the East Texas mission, San Francisco de Los Tejas but wanted to return to try again.

We are talking about Father Francisco Hidalgo, a tenacious missionary man that was part of the Franciscan order and had come to the American territory to evangelize the Native American Indian tribes. His mission reached the northern region of what today is Mexico and East Texas. By 1719, the French invasion seemed imminent and the Franciscans missionaries decided to leave the mission in San Francisco de Los Tejas. That is when Father Francisco Hidalgo opted to travel to San Antonio to live at the mission called The Alamo.
