If we have an integer in radix/base n, so the possible digit for that integer is between 0 - (n-1). Example: The number in decimal (10) is composed of a digit between 0 - 9, we won't see a number in base-7 have 7 as a digit.

So from the question, we can say that base of the number is at least greater than 6. Thanks

In integer base representations, the digits in base b b are 0 to b 1 0 ~\text{to}~b-1 . Since the number includes 6 6 , the only possible base from the choices is 7 \boxed{7} .
