The equation for Newton's Second Law is F = ma, where F is the net force acting on an object, m is the mass of the object, and a is the acceleration of the object. Rearranging this equation, we get a = F/m.

In this problem, we are given F = 6.0 N and m = 9.0 kg. Substituting these values into the equation above, we get:

a = F/m = 6.0 N / 9.0 kg = 0.67 m/s^2

Therefore, the acceleration of the bowling ball is 0.67 m/s^2, which corresponds to choice (D).
