The sentence "My knees are killing me," is an example of hyperbole, as shown in option D.

What is hyperbole?

  • It's a figure of speech.
  • It represents a very exaggerated expression.

As we know, the knees are not capable of killing a person, but we use the exaggerated expression "my knees are killing me" to show that we are feeling a very strong pain in the knees.

This exaggeration is represented by hyperbole.
