Final answer:

A number with three or more digits is divisible by 6 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3 and the number formed by its last digit is even.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement is B) False.

A number with three or more digits is divisible by 6 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3 and the number formed by its last digit is even.

For example, let's take the number 258. The sum of its digits is 2 + 5 + 8 = 15, which is divisible by 3. The last digit, 8, is even. So, 258 is divisible by 6.

In contrast, if we take the number 263, the sum of its digits is 2 + 6 + 3 = 11, which is not divisible by 3. So, 263 is not divisible by 6.
