This is simple statement which expresses the relation in past but now he/she talking about and saying. Which done by him/her.
So it's Present perfect tense and correct.

"I got" is the correct answer.
Reason: I have got means the possession of the degree now.
But, I got, means the degree was obtained from somewhere, someday long ago.

This sentence is in simple past tense. So, there is no use of adding another helping verb like 'have' or 'had'. Simply "i got my degree in 1988" is correct.

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 have got' is not wrong. It is a present perfect tense. And ' I got' is past indefinite. So both we can write. Can anyone tall me why A is the right answer?

Since the year is mentioned. Second form of verb will be used! Words like ago, yesterday, last year, last day, etc are used with second form of verb.

As in sentence time reference is there (1988), we should use simple past.
If there is no time reference both "I have got" and "I got" are correct.
If there is no time reference both "I have got" and "I got" are correct.

Present perfect "is used for just now completed action".
Hear he got msc in 1998 it is past. So we have to use "i got my msc degree in 1988".

' I ' is singular and third person, and with Singular sub. So, We use the singular helping verb.
And, have is plural that's why it is wrong.
