Do I have to pick one option in a preference question?
No. You can say it depends, as long as you then say what it depends on and which side wins today. It depends on the weather, but honestly I'd rather stay in keeps the nuance and still gives the examiner a decision to follow.

Declining works if you still hand over information. Saying that you have no real preference and then stopping ends the exchange, whereas adding that both options do the same job and you take whichever is closer shows you can evaluate. If you honestly like both, choose the option you can describe in more detail: the description is what gives the examiner something to assess.
