Answer:

c. hyperbole

Step-by-step explanation:

In literature, hyperbole is a way of speaking in an exaggerated manner that commonly uses words and phrases that are obviously false to emphasize, to add humor, to gain attention on something or to make a point. Examples of this figurative language are “I lost my head entirely” and “That day I ate the biggest burger that has ever existed.”
