Option 2, "Six people lost their lives in the accident," is the correct sentence. Here's why:

1. **Explanation for Option 2:**
   - The word "lives" is the correct plural form of "life." Since the sentence refers to six people, it is necessary to use the plural form to indicate that each of these individuals had a life that was lost. Therefore, "lives" accurately reflects the plural nature of the subject.

2. **Explanation for why other options are incorrect:**
   - **Option 1: "Six people lost their life in the accident."**
     - This option uses "life," which is singular. Since the sentence refers to multiple people (six), the plural form "lives" should be used instead of the singular "life."
   
   - **Option 3: "Six people loss their life in the accident."**
     - This option incorrectly uses "loss" instead of "lost." "Loss" is a noun, while "lost" is the past tense of the verb "lose," which is needed here to indicate that the action of losing has already occurred. Additionally, it uses the singular "life" instead of the correct plural "lives."
   
   - **Option 4: "Six people loose their life in the accident."**
     - This option incorrectly uses "loose" instead of "lose." "Loose" is an adjective meaning not tight or free, whereas "lose" is the verb needed here. Furthermore, it uses the singular "life" instead of the correct plural "lives."

In summary, Option 2 is the only sentence that correctly uses the plural form "lives" and the past tense verb "lost," making it grammatically accurate and appropriate for the context.
