Instead of asking about a transistor which needs to turn on with only 0.2 V (there aren't any but please prove me wrong!) and assume that you can do this with only one transistor (you can't but I'd like to be proven wrong again), describe what your requirements are and ask what solutions exist. A LED will not light up with 0.2 V so there must be some other voltage present. Why 0.2 V? Do research on similar setups (switching LEDs) and learn how that's done.

Whilst I'm inclined to agree with @Bimpelrekkie that this is probably an X-Y problem, for those who might actually need such a device there are some options. Most MOSFETs are sold as enhancement or depletion mode (less commonly) devices, however it's possible to tune the threshold voltage to approximately zero +/- tens of mV.
For example, the Advanced Linear Devices ALD110800A and similar devices in that series have a nominal zero gate threshold (1uA Ids). The subthreshold behavior is fairly well documented as well.

No single transistor can do what you want. Instead, you need to use multiple transistors. A simple voltage comparator will do what you want:
simulate this circuit – Schematic created using CircuitLab
R2 and R3 set the reference voltage for the base of Q2. As long as the voltage at the base of Q1 is less than Vref, all of the current through R1 will flow through Q2. As soon as the input voltage rises above 0.2V, Q2 will cut off and all of the current will flow through Q1 and the LED instead.
Note that since the emitters of the transistors need to be at a negative voltage, this circuit requires a negative supply. An alternative would be to use an IC comparator — you can find single-supply units that can work with input voltages close to ground.

Pretty much none of them. I would recommend amplifying the signal before trying to use it as a switch, perhaps with a comparator.

Instead of asking about a transistor which needs to turn on with only 0.2 V (there aren't any but please prove me wrong!) and assume that you can do this with only one transistor (you can't but I'd like to be proven wrong again), describe what your requirements are and ask what solutions exist. A LED will not light up with 0.2 V so there must be some other voltage present. Why 0.2 V? Do research on similar setups (switching LEDs) and learn how that's done.

0.2V isn't enough to run an LED; if you have a rail that'll drive an LED then you can use a comparator.

What's the LED and what's the current and voltage it requires? What power supply rails do you have?
