Reference explanation:
Correct answer:
He was the first man to tell me the truth.
‘The first’ refers to a single person. So to shorten the relative clause, we omit the relative pronoun and then change the verb or auxiliary verb (if any) into to + Verb (to infinitive) form.
Translation: He was the first man to tell me the truth.
