What is the effect of hyperbole on the narration of The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian?

I believe the answer is: B. It creates an exaggeration voice, which affects the narrator's credibility.

The main purpose of the narrator is to address the sad and depressing situation that happened to the indian in a humorous way.

Even though some people might get the narrator's intent, some people would definitely be offended and see the narrator as someone without credibility since he is downplaying a cruel situation.

Hyperbole's effect on the narration of The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by making it more of a funny and humorous rather than sad and depressing. Since the story's plot is particularly depressing, hyperbole is used to elevate the gloomy reality of the plot.
