Interviewing, how to answer “Did you accept a return offer?”

As title says, context — I accepted a return offer that I’m not too interested in but wanted it as a safety. I’m actively interviewing for full time roles and don’t know how to answer questions relating to accepting a return offer as I have been asked in all my current interviews if I received a return offer without coming off in a negative light.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
