Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. needn’t have bought.

Explanation:

  • The sentence implies that the subject is asking the person not to get such an expensive gift and we use 'need not' to show that.
  • So, ‘needn’t have bought’ will be the correct phrase to replace ‘need no buy’.

Hence, the chosen option is correct.
