cathy cant count how many cards she has in her hands.
the cool ocean waves lapped at our feet as we watched the golden sun begin
to set.

Explanation:

Imagery is descriptive language that appeals to the senses (taste, touch, sound, sight, smell). The first option "His dad will have a cow if we aren't home in time" is a hyperbole (extreme exaggeration). The second option "Cathy can't count how many cards she has in her hands" is a simple statement without sensory description. The third option "The cool ocean waves lapped at our feet as we watched the golden sun begin to set" uses descriptive words like "cool" (touch), "golden" (sight) which appeal to the senses.

Answer:

The cool ocean waves lapped at our feet as we watched the golden sun begin to set.
