Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
Explanation: The phrase "need not tell a lie" should be replaced with "need not have told a lie". ''Need not tell a lie'' indicates the present tense, whereas the action took place in the recent past, so it should be in the present perfect tense (have+past participle form of the main verb).
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "You need not have told a lie when the judge asked you where you were when the crime was committed."
