Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
The correct preposition to fill the blank is 'nor'. The sentence uses 'neither' to express a negative condition about two subjects: 'he' and 'his father'. In English grammar, 'neither' must be paired with 'nor' to form a correlative conjunction that connects two negative clauses. For example, 'Neither he is sorry nor his father is sorry' is grammatically correct. The other options—'or', 'not', and 'either'—are incorrect because they do not form a valid negative conjunction pair with 'neither'.
