It should be after he retires.

Vimal said:   10 years ago
Whether "he retires" or "his retirement".

Sachin said:   10 years ago
After his retirement is absolutely correct.

Athouba said:   9 years ago
I'm sure that the answer should be option c.

The retiring principal asked his own pupils to take the interest in HIS school after he has retired.

Hope error spotted here is right. Because we use 'the' only to specify things that are unique. 'THE SCHOOL' doesn't point which school it is. 'HIS SCHOOL' informs us that the school, where the principal is working.

I'm suggesting. Am I right?

'HIS' won't matter here, it should be 'THE' only, I hope.

@Kumar.

The is already used for THE school.

Had retired should be used there as it is an indirect speech.

Yogi said:   9 years ago
Yes, Had should come in the place of has.
