Solution

The correct option is C Neither you nor I understood what he was saying.
The context refers to a negative situation. Thus, only option B "Neither you nor I understood what he was saying" is correct. The coordinating conjunctions
"neither - nor" are used as indicatives of a negative situation. Here, both you and I did not understand.
All the other options represent the possibility that one or both may have understood.
Thus, option B is the correct answer.
