The option which best describes the role of the hyperbole in the passage is A. To convey a sense of how little Rita can see.

What is hyperbole?

Hyperbole is a figure of speech that uses exaggeration to express an idea, a feeling, an action etc. In the passage, the hyperbole is found in the sentence "She was surrounded by blackness darker than deep space."

The exaggeration lies in the fact that nothing can be darker than deep space. The author says such a thing to convey the idea that Rita can barely see anything before her due to the dark.

With the information above in mind, we can choose letter A as the best option.
