The most absorbing thing, however, was the prepartions to be made before Colin could be transported with sufficient secrecy to the garden.... It was almost as serious and elaborately thought out as the plans of march made by great generals in time of war. Which best identifies an example of hyperbole from the passage?

A. "the most absorbing thing"

B. "the preparations to be made before Colin could be transported"

C. " the plans of march made by great generals in time of war"

D. "transported with sufficient secrecy"
