Solution :

Given a soda can has a diameter of 6 cm.

As we know, the circumference of circle with radius r is ,
$C=2\pi r$ .

And diameter of the circle
D = 2r

So, the circumference of the circle with diameter D is ,
$C=\pi D$

Put D= 6

$\Rightarrow C=6 \pi\\\\Using\: \pi=3.14\\\Rightarrow C=6*3.14\\\\\Rightarrow C=18.84$

Hence, the circumference of the can is 18.84 cm. (option C)
