The answer would be letter B: Hyperbole
Explanation:
A hyperbole is an exaggeration, so when you say “we had traveled forever”, you are exaggerating because that is not possible.
Hope this helped :D

Answer:

B. Hyperbole

Step-by-step explanation:

"The night before, we had traveled forever and a day on a small boat."

The phrase "traveled forever and a day" exaggerates the length of the journey, emphasizing its arduousness and creating a vivid image in the reader's mind.
