The easiest to achieve this is to define another option. Assume you have the three options

One, Two, Three

and you want to "unselect" them. So just add a fourth option like

Unspecified, One, Two, Three

so if you do not want any of the "One, Two, Three", just click on "Unspecified" and you get what you want.
