Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
This statement would likely be considered puffery, which is "exaggerated or extravagant claims made about a product or service that are not meant to be taken literally." It is subjective and not a verifiable fact, and most consumers would not take it seriously as a definitive claim of the best cup of coffee in the world.
