The type of figurative language used in the sentence "There were at least ten trillion people shopping at the mall on Black Friday" is **B. hyperbole**. Hyperbole is an exaggerated statement not meant to be taken literally, and saying "ten trillion people" is an extreme exaggeration to emphasize how crowded the mall was.
