A Correct answer
Explanation

At 6:00, the hour hand is at 6 and the minute hand is at 12. The angle between them is 180 degrees.

AI explanation

Using the clock angle formula, where the angle equals the absolute value of 30 times the hours minus 11 divided by 2 times the minutes, we substitute the values for 6:00. This gives us the absolute value of 30 times 6 minus 5.5 times 0, which simplifies to 180. The angle between the minute hand and the hour hand at 6:00 is 180 degrees, which corresponds to option D.
