Why the answer is C, and why the others tempt you.
The Qur'an is the first and primary source of Islamic Law (Shari'ah) as it is the direct word of Allah revealed to Prophet Muhammad (SAW). All other sources such as Hadith, Ijma', and Qiyas are secondary and must not contradict the Qur'an. The Qur'an takes precedence over all other legal sources.
