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

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

'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?

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.

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.

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