Base on the question where as asking to choose among the following choices that states the correct figurative speech that could support the said phrase, and base on my research, the answer would be letter D.

I would say the correct answer is B. hyperbole.


Hyperbole is a figure of speech that authors use when they want to exaggerate things. So this 'vegetable love' cannot possibly grow larger than empires - the poem just wants to demonstrate the power and intensity of this love by using the figure of hyperbole. A paradox would include two completely opposite things, and vast and slow are not opposites.
