Onomatopoeia example.

Explanation:
Onomatopoeia is a word that imitates a sound. The word that fits this idea here is the one that directly mimics a loud impact sound, like a crash or a gunshot—“bang.” That makes it the clearest example of onomatopoeia among the options. Thunder is the label for the sound itself, not a word that imitates the sound; silence signifies the absence of sound; hush is more about the command to be quiet or the feeling of quiet, and doesn’t imitate a specific sound in the way “bang” does.
