Explanation

Option B (8) is correct because the Cisco NCS 2006 chassis contains a total of 8 slots: 6 line card slots plus 2 shelf processor/controller slots, giving the full physical slot count of 8.

Why the distractors are wrong:

A (6) is the most tempting wrong answer - it counts only the line card slots and ignores the 2 shelf controller slots; test-takers often confuse "line card slots" with "total slots."
D (7) has no basis in the NCS 2006 hardware design and is a plausible-sounding distractor.
C (10) corresponds more closely to the larger NCS 2010 chassis (10 line card slots), making it a cross-model confusion trap.

Memory tip: The model number "2006" contains "06," which hints at the 6 line card slots - but remember to add 2 for the shelf controllers to get the total of 8. Think: "6 + 2 controller slots = 8 total."
