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”.

When we used to discuss, there was no need to use about, so the right answer was option A.

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.
