Sometimes, there is no point in pretending you know the answer on a test.
Perhaps you didn't study or perhaps you're just drawing a blank. For whatever reason, you have absolutely no idea what to say and you can't even venture an educated guess.

Do you waste time trying to fabricate an educated guess despite the fact that you know it will be totally wrong? Or do you just accept that you don't know it and lean into that fact, so to speak?

You're at the very least likely to give your teacher a laugh with your transparency.
