No error.
The error is in part A: "I have got my M.Sc. degree" is incorrect usage. "Have got" typically means "possess" or "am obliged to" in present tense. For completed action with a specific year (1988), we should use simple past "I got my M.Sc. degree" or present perfect "I have received my M.Sc. degree". The form "have got" doesn't properly indicate the past completion.
'I have got' uses the present perfect tense, but pairing it with a specific past year like '1988' is a tense mismatch — the correct form should be simple past ('I got my M.Sc. degree in 1988'), since a definite past time requires simple past tense, not present perfect. The remaining segments ('my M.Sc. degree', 'in 1988') are correct as written.
