Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The correct choice is the first option .
We use needn't have + past participle form to refer to events which happened but which the speaker considers were unnecessary. So , need not tell a lie should be replaced with need not have told.
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.
