Stereoisomer question

Beta-damasoenone (image in link above) can react with the following sets of reagents and conditions to give different products.Which set of reagents and conditions below will give the most number of stereo-isomers after the reaction?
A Br
2
in CCl
4
B LiAlH
4
in dry ether
C 2,4-dinitrophenyihydrazine
D H
2
, nickel at high temperature
How do you solve questions involving stereoisomers as products? There are so many possible variants present. My guess is either A or D since Br/H can be added to beta-damascenone.
May I ask how do you solve question types like these? What are your thought processes?

Try to figure out what can be the possible products with every one of those reagents.

Your structure has no chiral center. You always obtain a racemic mixture if reaction is stereospecific. Just look at mechanism of each reaction.
