Final choice in Mass Effect 3?

**SPOILERS**

So I've beaten Mass Effect 3, having completed all the content available to me. When you get to the end and are talking to the Illusive man, he presents you with a series of blue/red choice options. The very last one gives a choice between 'but you already have' and 'then you've failed humanity.', but neither option is highlighted. My reputation seems to be maxed out, I'm mostly paragon with only a tiny bit of renegade, and there's really no way I could have possibly gotten more rep.

So how does one unlock this choice? Does it require you to have accessed the online missions or something? I don't have/can't get X-box live, so that would be incredibly lame.

Update:

sorry, but I'm not talking about the three options for ending the game. I had access to all of those. I'm talking about the final -conversation- choice in the game, when you're talking to the illusive man. Your final conversation choice with him has four options, two plain and two (presumably) red/blue like the previous options in the conversation, only these were dull and unchoosable for me. I could only pick the plain conversation options in spine of having oodles of reputation.

Was anyone able to pick one of those conversation options? What was the result if so ?

Update 2:

Ahhh, see, I'm pretty sure I did. :/

Oh well. Awesome game anyway.

    This happened to me too. When I looked it up, it sounds like you needed to have used persuade options with him in every conversation, starting from the beginning of the game. The end result isn't a big deal, the renegade interrupt you get right after accomplishes basically the same thing.

    you have to have 100% readiness apparently there is a way without mutliplayer to get 100% but I'm now sure how I had to do Multiplayer to get the third options (unite organics and synthetics as one)
