Whenever you have such questions, choose x and y as 0, and find the other coordinates y and x respectively..
1) Take x as 0..
\(2|x| + 3|y| = 6\).....\(2|0| + 3|y| = 6\)\(...... 3|y| = 6......|y|=2......y=2..y=-2\)..Coord (0,-2) and (0,2)
2) Take y as 0..
\(2|x| + 3|y| = 6\).....\(2|x| + 3|0| = 6\)\(...... 2|x| = 6......|x|=3......x=3...x=-3\)..Coord (3,0) and (-3,0)
Now you can draw the figure as shown
Area = \(2*(\frac{1}{2}*(3+3)*2)=2*6=12\)
OR
the figure is a rhombus with equal sides and diagonals as 4 and 6..Area = \(\frac{4*6}{2}=12\)

Plug \(x = 0\) ; \(y =\) + \(2\) & If \(y = 0 ; x =\) + \(3\) and plot the graph

Now, \(△AOD = △AOB = △BOC = △COD\) ; where all the triangles are right angles (Intersection of X and Y axis at O)
So, Area of △AOD is \(\frac{1}{2}*3*2= 3\)
So, Area of the enclosed region is \(4*3 = 12\), Answer must be (E)
