0 In the U.S., all four possibilities are acceptable. In approximate order, with most preferred first: 01i00have to, should, must, need to. need to02i00 is much less appropriate, however. 01i00must02i00 sounds very British to me. If the test item is for a course in British English, I would say choose 01i00must02i00.02b
