The word "discuss" is usually used when talking about a topic in general. The actual meaning of "discuss' is "talk about". The usage of the word about after Discuss is redundant or unnecessary. Hence "Discuss about" is incorrect. You can also use talk about in place of Discuss.

That's why Option A is correct.
