Explanation
After a negative clause, the continuation expressing a second negative uses 'nor', not 'neither' — 'neither' pairs with 'nor' only in the 'neither...nor' frame for two alternatives. The sentence means 'we had not met, and I did not wish to meet him either', so 'nor did I wish' is correct. 'Never did I wish' changes the emphasis and 'did not I wish' is ungrammatical. Hence option (B) is correct.
