The answer is c. The using of the word "eternity" makes the sentence a hyperbole because it uses exaggeration. A person can't really live for an eternity.

The sentence that includes hyperbole is C. Jackson lived for an eternity in a two-room, ramshackle house.

Hyperbole comes from the Greek word excess and is characterized for the use of extreme exaggeration to make emphasis. In this sentence, the words eternity and ramshackle have an excessive negative connotation that help the reader notice the emphasis made in the poor living conditions. What is more, the word eternity is completely exaggerated since nobody can live for infinite time.
