To find the volume of the chocolate cone, we can use the formula for the volume of a cone, which is V = (1/3)πr^2h, where r is the radius and h is the height.

Given that the diameter is 2 cm, the radius would be half of that, which is 1 cm.

By substituting the values into the formula, we have:
V = (1/3)π(1 cm)^2(6 cm)

Simplifying this:
V = (1/3)π(1 cm)^2(6 cm)
V = (1/3)π(1 cm)(1 cm)(6 cm)
V = (1/3)π (6 cm^3)
V ≈ 6.28 cubic centimeters

Therefore, the correct answer is 6.28 cubic centimeters.
