Answer: A) hyperbole.

Explanation: A hyperbole is a type of figurative language that consists in exaggerating an event or a statement. In the given dialogue between Anna and Joseph, we can see an example of hyperbole in the phrase "We have walked so long that I fear my feet will fall right off," in this sentence, Anna is clearly exaggerating to express that she is very tired of walking. So the correct answer is option A.
