I am not sure if there exists a configuration option to hide version.bind in dnsmasq, but there exists a compile time option NO_ID
**Compile time option NO_ID**
Some consider it good practice to obscure software version numbers to
clients. Compiling with -DNO_ID removes the *.bind info structure.
This includes: version, author, copyright, cachesize, cache insertions,
evictions, misses & hits, auth & servers.
Here are the discussion threads for the same:
