No correction is required because when conditional clause takes simple present main clause should contain an auxiliary verb (in present form) with a main verb.

As far as I know, (A) is the best choice.

Because, if we study carefully the construction of the sentence it talks about the parallelism of the stem. Also, the sentence is negative so, there we have to use Positive-Negative or Negative-Positive sentence.

I think need not come with (to) infinitive.

I guess all are wrong in their explanation, as the sentence ends with infinite (to) so we should include infinite with "need" but as per the grammar rule module like "need" or "dare" only takes infinite if it is in negative form i.e., don't.

Or if we delete infinite at the end of sentence, it will be corrected as well i.e., "You need not come unless you want.".

I think this is really lame!Both of them express the meaning clearly and does not sound obnoxious to my ears.
