We can step through this one together:

(A) is partially right, he worked on reforms, but he had nothing to do with the founding of Gran Columbia. (B) isn't quite right, either. He was a firm ruler, but he wasn't a dictator, he was more concerned over reforming the land and limiting the power of the Catholic Church in Mexico. And (C) doesn't fit, either. Juarez was a fighter, true, but he wasn't involved in the wars for independence throughout South America.

So that leaves only one answer: (D). 

He was known as the man behind what the Mexicans call "La Reforma" and became president of Mexico. Even when he was exiled from the capital during another war launched by European nations intent on collecting on Mexico's debts to them, he was still president and managed to lead his people back to victory. His reforms helped to set the nation on a path that would take it into the modern era.
