Solution

The correct option is B Neither
In the given sentence, the narrator gives two flavour options of ice cream i.e "vanilla" and "strawberry". The person being spoken to wants a different flavour from the one offered i.e 'butterscotch". Therefore, the distributive pronoun to be used is 'neither' which indicates that both given options are not chosen.
Option A) each is used to indicate individuality within a group.
Option B) either is used when a choice has to be between two options or choices.
Option D) both is used to when the two given options are both chosen or included.
Therefore, options A, B and D are incorrect and the correct option is option C) neither.
