(D) stereogenic center (or chiral center) is a carbon atom that is bonded to four different groups.By examining the structure of fluorometholone,we can identify the chiral carbons marked with an asterisk $(*)$.There are $8$ such carbon atoms in the molecule that are bonded to four distinct groups,making them stereogenic centers.Therefore,the total number of stereogenic centers is $8$.
