Any particular reason you think D is the correct answer?

That's almost the right way to do it. You need to find a number that is divisible by both 6 and 2, and not divisible by 4. 

A. 6 doesn't divide 4, so this isn't the answer
B. 6 doesn't divide 8, so this isn't the answer
C. 6 and 2 divide 12, but 4 divides 12 so this isn't the answer.
D. 6 and 2 divide  18, and 4 doesn't divide 18, so this must be the answer.
E. 6 and 2 divide 24, but 4 divides 24 so this isn't the answer.
