Answer:
D
Solution:

Ans. (D) 2, 3.

Sol. Counting the two stereogenic sp2 carbons of the double bond, cyclononene has 2 stereocentres. Three stereoisomers exist: cis-cyclononene (achiral) and trans-cyclononene, which is isolable at this ring size and is chiral, existing as an enantiomeric pair. Total = 3.
