I think answer c is correct because here "it" repeated two times, which doesn't need. Correct me, If I am wrong.

I too agree, A is the correct answer.

The Answer is 'A' Correct because “discuss” never takes “about”.
“Discuss” is already a transitive verb, so it goes directly with the object.
That’s why the correct form is “We discussed the problem”, not “We discussed about the problem”.

The answer is A.

The error is the use of "about" after "discussed".
The verb "discuss" is a transitive verb that does not require a preposition after it; "we discussed the problem" is the correct construction.
