Hi Clive.
Thank you for your explantion.
Now that you explain, I remembered the structure. I guess, this structure is called if omition conditional sentence, so I think apart from the two alternatives you mentioned, we can also say

"Were I given the choice, I would say no."

Correct me if I am wrong.
Thank you
