(A),(D)
given compound has 3 chiral centres with symmetrical substituents......so 6 stereoisomers...2 meso..1 d -l pair of cis and .1 d -l pair of trans

(A) The total number of stereoisomers possible for X is 6.
(B) The total number of diastereomers possible for X is 3.
(C) If the stereochemistry about the double bond in X is trans, the number of enantiomers possible for X is 4.
(D) If the stereochemistry about the double bond in X is cis, the number of enantiomers possible for X is 2.
