@All.
We have to use simple past for the past actions if they mentioned. about the specific time in the past.

" I have got " is the correct one, there is no error why because this is present perfect sentence.

1) Present perfect "have got" is used for actions that have relevance to the present.
2) Simple past "got" is correct because "1988" is a specific point in the past.

"I got" is the correct answer. Because "have" is not needed while using got.

I have got is present perfect tense. And present perfect is used to denote the near past, i.e. something which happened just recently eg. I have completed my breakfast an hour ago. (which is just 1hr back so fresh enough to use present perfect) But in case of this sentence, it is a long ago issue of 1988 so simple past tense needs to be used thus option A is wrong and got instead should be used.
