Answer: B
The correct preposition is into: He divided the cake into six pieces.
Divide into names the parts something is split into. Divide among and divide between name the people who receive the parts: among for more than two, between for two.
Six pieces are the parts, not the recipients, so among and between do not fit. In is used for the result as a state (cut in half) but not with a number of pieces after divide.
