To calculate the three-week moving average forecast for week 6, we take the average of the actual number of patients in weeks 3-5, which are 398, 406, and 390 respectively:

(398 + 406 + 390)/3 = 398

Therefore, the forecast for week 6 is greater than 398 but less than or equal to 406, making choice C the correct answer.
