The grammatical error in the sentence "We discussed the problem so thoroughly" is the use of "about. ".
Here's the correction:
Original: We discussed about problem so thoroughly.
Corrected: We discussed the problem so thoroughly.
In English, the verb "discuss" typically takes the direct object of the thing being discussed, not "about" followed by the object.

''Discuss and Describe' do not take preposition Ãbout' because there is already included meaning in these words.

As thoroughly is self sufficient. No need it include 'so' in this.

C is not correct because "discuss" is a transitive verb. Therefore it does not require a preposition.

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”.
