The sentence that uses hyperbole is:
a. She started the new job as a young, excited, hopeful woman; less than a year later, she left as an old, tired woman.
This sentence employs hyperbole by exaggerating the transformation of the woman from "young" and "excited" to "old" and "tired" in less than a year, which is an extreme and unlikely change.
