Let

x------> the sum of a set of data with $100$ observations

Mn------> the means of the new data set

we know that

$\frac{x}{100}=267\\ \\ x=267*100\\ x=26,700$

$Mn=\frac{(x-6*688)}{(100-6) }\\ \\ Mn=\frac{(26,700-4,128)}{(94) }\\ \\ Mn=240.13$

therefore

the answer is the option C

the mean of the new data set is $240.1$

X*94 +688*6 = 267*100
94x+4128=26700
94X=22572 /94
X=240.128
C is the closest answer
