To find the volume of a cone, you can use the formula:

\[
V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h
\]

Where:
- \( V \) is the volume,
- \( r \) is the radius,
- \( h \) is the height, and
- \( \pi \) is a constant approximately equal to 3.14.

Given:
- The diameter of the cone is 2 cm, which means the radius \( r \) is half of that:
\[
r = \frac{2}{2} = 1 \text{ cm}
\]
- The height \( h \) of the cone is 6 cm.

Now substituting the values into the volume formula:

\[
V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times (1)^2 \times 6
\]

Calculating it step-by-step:

1. Calculate \( r^2 \):
\[
r^2 = 1^2 = 1
\]

2. Substitute \( r^2 \) into the volume formula:
\[
V = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times 1 \times 6
\]

3. Calculate \( 3.14 \times 1 \times 6 \):
\[
3.14 \times 6 = 18.84
\]

4. Finally, calculate \( \frac{1}{3} \times 18.84 \):
\[
V = \frac{18.84}{3} = 6.28
\]

Therefore, the volume of chocolate needed to make a solid chocolate cone is **6.28 cubic centimeters**.

So, the correct answer is:

**6.28 cubic centimeters**.
