How many products that are stereoisomers would
Form in the reaction of 1,3 butadiene with one mole of Br2 ?
A. 0
B. 1
C. 2
D. 4

I was thinking the product has one chiral center so
There would be 2 stereoisomers, but c is not the answer 🙁

I think you need to reread the first part of the question stem again: what is it that they are really asking for?

I also think you haven't accounted for all the products of this reaction... remember this is a Conjugated Diene. Might want to brush up on that topic, specifically eletrophillic addition to conjugated dienes.
