Explanation:

Hyperbole is an exaggeration used for effect. The statement "you could fry an egg on the sidewalk" is an exaggeration to emphasize how hot it was. The first option, "Austin was extremely hot last August," captures the intended meaning of the hyperbole. The second option misinterprets the hyperbole as a literal statement about egg - frying, and the third option is not related to the meaning of the hyperbole.

Answer:

Austin was extremely hot last August.
