ANSWER


C.\text{ }3\text{ inches}

Step-by-step explanation

To find the radius of the circle, we have to apply the formula for the circumference of a circle:


C=2\pi r

where r = radius

Substitute the given values into the equation and solve for r:


\begin{gathered} 6\pi=2\pi r \\ \\ r=(6\pi)/(2\pi) \\ \\ r=3\text{ inches} \end{gathered}

The correct answer is option C.
