Correct option is D

Explanation:

Hyperbole –  An intentional exaggeration for emphasis or comic effect 

Hyperbole refers to an intentional exaggeration used to create emphasis or humor, often to highlight a particular quality or characteristic. For example, saying "I have a ton of homework" is an exaggeration to emphasize the amount of work.

Metonymy – Referring to something by the name of something else that is closely connected with it 

Metonymy involves referring to something by the name of something else that is closely related. For instance, using "the crown" to refer to royalty or "the White House" to refer to the U.S. President's administration.

Synecdoche – A figure of speech in which a part represents the whole 

Synecdoche is a figure of speech where a part of something is used to represent the whole, or vice versa. For example, saying "all hands on deck" uses "hands" (a part of the person) to represent the whole person.

Periphrasis – A roundabout or indirect manner of writing or speaking 

Periphrasis involves using more words than necessary to express an idea, often in a roundabout or indirect manner. For example, saying "the father of my father" instead of simply saying "grandfather".

Information Booster:

Hyperbole is often used in both literary and everyday language to convey strong emotions or dramatic effects, often seen in poetry, comedy, and advertisements.

Metonymy allows a writer or speaker to substitute a related concept in place of something else, often making language more evocative and symbolic. For example, referring to Hollywood to talk about the film industry.

Synecdoche is commonly used in literature and rhetoric to create a sense of intimacy or familiarity by focusing on a small part of a larger whole, often making the language more concrete and tangible.

Periphrasis is often used for euphemism, where more delicate or formal phrases are used in place of blunt ones. For example, saying "passed away" instead of "died".
