Why the answer is A, and why the others tempt you.
A Hadith Qudsi (Sacred Hadith) is one in which the Prophet (SAW) attributes the meaning or content directly to Allah, but the wording itself is that of the Prophet, not Allah's own words. This distinguishes it from the Qur'an, which is the exact word of Allah in both meaning and wording. Hadith Qudsi is therefore neither part of the Qur'an nor an ordinary Hadith.
