The question asks you to find how many stereoisomers of this compound exist. The formula is 2^n where n is number of stereocenters. The answer they want is 2^5 = 32.
I don't understand why the atoms marked in red are not stereocenters? A nitrogen bound to three different groups and a lone pair should have tetrahedral shape and be chiral, no?
