B Correct answer
Explanation

Saint Gobain (B) is correct. The French company Manufacture royale de glaces de miroirs (Royal Mirror and Glass Manufacturing) was founded in 1665 to supply mirrors for the Palace of Versailles. Saint Gobain continues today as a major construction materials and glass company. Lafarge (A) was founded in 1833, Holmegaard (C) in 1825, and Vemeux (D) appears to be a distractor.
