If a man diligently seeks to come "in" contact ?

"Into" denotes movement inside something while "in" denotes that the thing is already resting inside something. This sentence denotes action or movement hence into is more appropriate.

I think the is removed because the following statement already contains "the best", so "the contact with the best" is not appropriate. Let me know any other reasons appropriate for this.

I do seems that as per the grammar "the" article could be used only at the times if the sub is pointing in particular and also at the times, when sub is repetitive in the same part of the sentence.

In option A, is it correct "seeks" ?

THE is an article that always follow either by a noun or an adjective.
In the above sentence "contact" is a verb so we need to remove "the" from this sentence to make this grammatical appropriate.
