Yes
As any number divisible by 6 Must be an even number ( if N is divisible by 6, it should be divisible by 2 and 3!). This rules out odd options.

Rest of the options (even) are divisible by 2, just add them up to see whether they are divisible by 3

Any number is divisible by $$6$$ if its divisible both by $$2$$ and $$3$$.

Divisibility by $$2$$ - Last digit is even.

Divisibility by $$3$$ - Sum of digits is divisible by $$3$$.

Lets check the options;

A. $$414314 =$$ Sum of digits $$= 17$$ ---------- Not divisible by $$3$$. Hence Not divisible by $$6$$.

B. $$512365 =$$ Not divisible by $$2$$. Hence Not divisible by $$6$$.

C. $$618520 =$$ Sum of digits $$= 22$$ ----------- Not divisible by $$3$$. Hence Not divisible by $$6$$.

D. $$726573 =$$ Not divisible by $$2$$. Hence Not divisible by $$6$$.

E. $$878052 =$$ Sum of digits $$= 30$$. Divisible by $$3$$ and also divisible by $$2$$. Hence Divisible by $$6$$.
