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.

'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?

@Vijay.
If you are using had instead of have its something like we don't have it now.

As it is simple past tense sub + v2 should be there, so I got.

I received my M.Sc degree in 1988 is it correct? If wrong why?

Friends, If there is a clear mention of past time, like 1988, we should only use past Tense instead of present perfect.

Have is used for just completed actions. So simply I got is enough.
