Neither, None of those

Would you like abc, fresh orange or cendol?
None of those.


 



  • 2 options: “Coffee or tea?” → Neither.
  • 3 or more options: “Coffee, tea or fresh orange?” → None of those.

But there’s a small nuance:

Neither is traditionally used for two choices.

None (of those) is used for three or more choices.

Examples:

  • “Do you want coffee or tea?” 
  •  Neither, thanks.

  • “Would you like coffee, tea or juice?” 
  •  None of those, thanks.
  • “Which one do you want: red, blue or green?” 
  •  None of them.

And “none of those” sounds very natural in everyday English.
