Because thoroughly is already an adverb, and so add something so to comparative degrees are not valid.

It could be like.
We discussed about that answer so thoroughly.
Would have been right I guess.

There is a redundancy error in "so thoroughly".

That I found it very easy to work it out--here it is very easy would be the answer but here " it very" is written. I think like this front of view my Opinion is that, it is also incorrect in grammatically. But whats other Opinion.

Option A is the incorrect sentence. But why not Option C?

It's not right to use 'about' after 'discuss' because the word discuss itself means to talk about 'something'/'someone'. And generally, we don't use 'so' before 'thoroughly' because itself means 'very much'.
I hope it'll help.

Option A is correct as we don't need to use 'about' here. But there is no problem with 'so' in option A.
