  • A108
  • B135
  • C162
  • D216
Explanation

For divisibility by 9, the sum of digits must be divisible by 9. For divisibility by 6, the number must be divisible by both 2 and 3. 135 (1+3+5=9) is divisible by 9. However, 135 is an odd number, so it is not divisible by 2, and therefore not divisible by 6.
