Answer:

Irony.

Step-by-step explanation:

Irony is the term for "the opposite of what is meant". Examples of irony is like:

"No... you don't say". This is a dramatic irony, which means the opposite, essentially, "yes".

The other choices:

Hyperbole is exaggeration, or making something seem more than it really is. For example, "This homework is harder than building a missile".

Pun is a joke, typically using a word or fact that has more than one meaning, and using it out of context.

Metaphor is a comparison without using the words "like" or "as". For example: " You are the sunshine to my life ".
