Explanation:

Correct Option 2: Part C has error.

Explanation

- Part A: "I don't want you" - This part is correct. It correctly sets the context for the instruction being given.

- Part B: "to give that number to anyone unless" - This portion correctly introduces a condition, using "unless" to establish an exception.

- Part C: "it's not an emergency" - This is where the error lies. The use of "unless" implies a condition when something should happen, so it should be phrased in terms of when the number should be given. Using "it’s not an emergency" contradicts the intention. The correct phrase should be "it’s an emergency."

- Part D: "you understand?" - This part is correct, appropriately concluding the sentence with a request for confirmation.

- Part E: "No error." - The sentence does contain an error as identified in Part C.
