Answer:

D. hyperbole

Explanation:

Let us briefly define all the given answers.

Metaphor is a type of comparison, where the features and qualities of one thing are expressed through another familiar thing.

Onomatopoeia is a word formed from the sound it makes (splash, bam, bang).

Oxymoron is a combination of contradictory words that sound paradoxically (an open secret).

Hyperbole is a literary device that uses exaggeration to emphasize a message.

In the given example, it is obvious that the narrator didn't walk a million miles, but uses the exaggeration to show that the road to get there was as hard as if he really walked a million miles.
