The correct answer is C. The Discalced Carmelites have a life marked by a commitment to study and knowledge of the human heart and marked by growing personal and spiritual sensitivity. St. Teresa "wanted a new religious life to be born," and she wanted to keep the fidelity to the Church.  The Discalced Carmelites are also the only  Catholic mendicant order that had as foundress a woman.
