(A) I'm your kid brother. Five years younger than you are and all the time, all through the years I had to act like I was the older brother.
This is direct characterization. The 'kid brother' is being described in direct detail, without leaving any ambiguities.
The answer is: D. understatement.
An understatement is the display of something as minor, worse or less significant than it actually is. In this case, the idea is treated casually or downplayed, which means somebody makes it appear less important than it is.
The rest of the options are incorrect because a hyperbole is an exaggeration not meant to be taken literally; a paradox is a statement that sounds reasonable but its conclusion does not make sense or is contradictory, and an irony means the opposite of what is being said.
Even a god should not be overly proud of his accomplishments.
