(A) - (II), (B) - (I), (C) - (IV), (D) - (III)

✅ Correct Option: 4

Option 1 -> Incorrectly matches Simile with (I) which is hyperbole, not a comparison using "like" or "as".

Option 2 -> Incorrectly matches Simile with (I) and Hyperbole with (III) which is personification, not exaggeration.

Option 3 -> Incorrectly matches Simile with (I) and Hyperbole with (II) which is actually a simile.

Option 4 -> Correctly matches all figures of speech: Simile uses "like" (II), Hyperbole is the exaggeration "thousands of students" (I), Metaphor is the direct comparison "tiger of her tribe" (IV), and Personification gives books the human quality of dancing (III).

Hence, Option 4: (A) - (II), (B) - (I), (C) - (IV), (D) - (III) -> (A) Simile matches with "like a sunflower" showing comparison with "like"; (B) Hyperbole matches with "thousands of students" showing exaggeration; (C) Metaphor matches with "tiger of her tribe" showing direct comparison; (D) Personification matches with "books danced" giving human action to objects -> correct
