Answer: A) I'm so hungry I could eat a horse.

Step-by-step explanation: a hyperbole is a figure of speech that consists in exaggerating something to make emphasis or to produce an impact in the audience. From the given options, the one that is an example of a hyperbole is the corresponding to option A: I'm so hungry I could eat a horse, because we can see that it is clearly an exaggeration. The options B and C are similes and option D is a metaphor.
