1.) A.) Did you call him?
B.) Did you call him yet?
C.) Have you called him?
D.) Have you called him yet?

What is the difference between A and B? B and D?

All four sentences are grammatically correct.
Did you call him? is a general question asking whether or not a phone call has been made.

Did you call him yet? might imply that the phone call is rather urgent. Have you called him is a general question in present perfect which is more often used in British English than in American English.

Have you called him yet? is a question in present perfect too, implying the phone call might be urgent.
