The correct answer is:

**It stresses the extent of the narrator’s exhaustion in a memorable way.**

This option highlights the purpose of the hyperbole in the sentence, which emphasizes the narrator's extreme fatigue after completing the marathon. By stating that they are "certain I could sleep for days," the narrator effectively conveys their exhaustion in a way that resonates with readers and captures the intensity of the experience.
