Answer:

C. hyperbole

Step-by-step explanation:

A hyperbole is an exaggeration. Since the first graders couldn't have really "destroyed everything in their wake”, this quote is an example of a hyperbole.

Answer: hyperbole

Explanation: It is exaggerating how crazy the first graders were. I doubt that they destroyed everything so it is a hyperbole.
