The first one.
But you can also say "she said that she needs my help.
She said that she needed my help means that she said (in the past) that she needed (in the past) my help. (it is not clear whether she still needs my help or if she only needed it in the past)
If you say:
She said that she needs my help, it means that she said (in the past) that she needs my help. (in this sentence it is clear that she still needs my help at the present time).
Your second choice was wrong because you said she need my help. It should be she needS
