Answer:

a. Fr. Hidalgo

Step-by-step explanation:

Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla was a Mexican known as the father of the Mexican nation because he was the initiator of the Mexican revolution, a conflict that sought Mexico's independence from Spanish rule. He was a liberal religious and since he was 12 years old he studied to be a Jesuit. He became a great academic connoisseur of theology, art and philosophy, in addition to becoming an accomplished patriot, which influenced his search for freedom and his leadership in the country's independence.
