A. David knocked on the door of every house, shed, and chicken coop until he had worn his knuckles to the bone.
Hello there!

Your answer is A.

Choice A demonstrates exaggeration, which is a hyperbole. The phrase "worn his knuckles to the bone" is an exaggeration to show that David has worked really hard and his hands are sore and tired. Wearing out knuckles to the bone is unlikely to happen in real life, which makes it an exaggeration, or a hyperbole. The other choices do not demonstrate the same exaggeration as demonstrated in answer choice A.
