"have" is present perfect tens while he got his degree in 1988 which is past so, it does not agree the tense.

Present perfect tense shouldn't be used with time. (If time is mentioned like a week ago, yesterday, year).

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

No any doubt the correct option is [D] because his qualification still effect his present life.
Vasu said:   1 decade ago
They have specified the exact year in which he got his degree if so we must use past tense.
VJeeva said:   6 years ago
"I got" is the correct answer. Because "have" is not needed while using got.

Am I right?

When the time is given in past then we use simple past. It is one of the rule of tense.

@Vijay.

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

In 1988 means it is simple past tense so we can't use present perfect (HAVE GOT) here
