The correct answer is St Ignatius of Loyola.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Jesuits are a religious order founded in 1534, that base their activities on the intellectual formation in philosophy and theology and social activities as evangelical teaching because these activities are considered the way to serve the church and God. His founder was Ignatius of Loyola, a Spanish young that after participating as a soldier in Navarra's war where was injured, in his resting time began reading a lot of religious books and realized that his true dream was to serve to the Lord, for that reason he decided to found The Society of Jesus.

The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "St. Ignatius of Loyola." The Society of Jesus, or Jesuits, was founded by St. Ignatius of Loyola. It is not St. Theresa of Avila who is a Carmelite nun and neither St. Mark of Bastille.
