To determine which fraction is equivalent to $$ \frac{1}{3} $$, let's examine each option:

- **Option A: $$ \frac{3}{8} $$**
  
  $$
  \frac{3}{8} \approx 0.375 \quad \text{(Not equal to } \frac{1}{3} \approx 0.333\ldots \text{)}
  $$

- **Option B: $$ \frac{1}{6} $$**
  
  $$
  \frac{1}{6} \approx 0.166\ldots \quad \text{(Not equal to } \frac{1}{3} \approx 0.333\ldots \text{)}
  $$

- **Option C: $$ \frac{2}{6} $$**
  
  Simplify $$ \frac{2}{6} $$ by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:
  
  $$
  \frac{2 \div 2}{6 \div 2} = \frac{1}{3}
  $$
  
  $$
  \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3} \quad \text{(Equivalent)}
  $$

- **Option D: $$ \frac{3}{4} $$**
  
  $$
  \frac{3}{4} = 0.75 \quad \text{(Not equal to } \frac{1}{3} \approx 0.333\ldots \text{)}
  $$

**Conclusion:**  
Option **C) $$ \frac{2}{6} $$** is equivalent to $$ \frac{1}{3} $$.
Option C) $$ \frac{2}{6} $$ is equivalent to $$ \frac{1}{3} $$.
