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.

Why not option c?

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

You are right @Giri.

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.

I think C have also the wrong sentence and grammatical words.
