Answer:

C. My English teacher gave me a million and one pages to read tonight!

Step-by-step explanation:

Hyperbole is a deliberate exaggeration used to make a point, to emphasize or to add humor on something and that employs words or phrases that are obviously false and thus, should not be taken literally. Sentence C uses this figure of speech when using the phrase “a million and one pages” to emphasize how much work the speaker was given.
