Based on your description, it sounds like your multiple choice field is also a checkbox field. Your best bet would be to add the @NONEOFTHEABOVE Action Tag inside your field using the Online Designer, e.g., @NONEOFTHEABOVE='6'. This indicates to REDCap that if option 6, No Intervention is checked, no other options can be selected. If any other options happen to be selected first and then the user selects option 6, No Intervention, REDCap will display a warning to the user that selecting this option will delete their other choices and ask them to confirm. So it'll function very similar to what you're looking for, even though the option won't be hidden.

As far as I'm aware, REDCap cannot dynamically hide specific answer choices. REDCap can hide entire questions with branching logic or can hide answer choices using the @IF and @HIDECHOICE action tags, but REDCap evaluates the conditional logic only when a survey page or data entry initially loads. It does NOT evaluate the conditional logic in real-time. So even if you had something like @IF(CONDITION, @HIDECHOICE='6', ''), this would not actually hide option 6 because the question is presumably unanswered when the survey or data entry form is first loaded.

Note: I've also omitted writing out the conditional logic for your specific scenario, as it's quite lengthy because of how REDCap treats checkbox fields.
