Correct answers: Reason; Hebrew Bible; Gospels; Apostles’ writings.
Irenaeus appealed to Scripture (both the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible and the New Testament — especially the four Gospels and apostolic letters) and used reason and logical argumentation to refute Gnostic heresies. He did not use the Quran (it didn’t exist) and the option “Church fathers” is not typically listed as his main source in this context.
