Answer :

In the context of hyperbole, which is an exaggerated statement or claim not meant to be taken literally, the best example among the given sentences is:

D. Raul is one of the wisest fools I've met in my life.

Explanation:
- This sentence uses hyperbole by combining contradictory terms "wisest" and "fools" to emphasize the extreme contrast in Raul's character.
- The phrase "wisest fools" exaggerates the idea that Raul possesses wisdom while also acting foolishly, creating a vivid and exaggerated description.
