The correct answer is

2

A number is divisible by 6 if it is divisible by both 2 and 3.
1. For divisibility by 2, the last digit (represented by *) must be even.
2. For divisibility by 3, the sum of the digits must be divisible by 3.
Testing values, the smallest digit satisfying both conditions is 2. 

Hence, the correct answer is 2.
