The equation $x = 6$ in Cartesian coordinates represents a vertical line 6 units to the right of the y-axis. To convert this to polar coordinates, we use the relationship $x = r \cos \theta$. Substituting $x = 6$ gives $6 = r \cos \theta$, which rearranges to $r = 6 \sec \theta$, making option B correct.
