Detailed Solution

Stereochemistry at three chiral position is known and other position of stereocenter is unknown , shown in wavy line. We can see that at the double bond and OH we have wavy line. Hence two positions stereochemistry not known then, we can get 8 isomer. of which the below one is optically inactive. Hence the answer is 7.
