What is a hyperbole?

A hyperbole is a figure of speech that uses exaggeration to convey an idea or feeling. For example, when a mother tells her son she has called him a thousand times, she is using a hyperbole. By exaggerating the number of times she has called him, she emphasizes the idea that she was worried about him.

We have a hyperbole in option D "been there since the dinosaur era," which exaggerates the period of time over which the building has existed. There were obviously no buildings back in the "dinosaur era," but the purpose is to indicate that the building is very old.
