Correct option is number 1: The writer uses hyperbole to offer a lighthearted joke about the age of the grandmother.

Hyperbole is a rhetorical figure that consists in the exaggeration of a quality. In this case, the age of the grandmother. It may be very old, but never taught how to fire the caveman
