Please let me know the correct sentence of "Every group of birds that fly to the breeding ground will have an equal number of males and females. ".

If you guys notice the options carefully you can see that the first three options constitutes one complete sentence. So the correct sentence would be "We discussed the problem so thoroughly on the eve of the examination that I found it very easy to work it out.".
Therefore "about" is totally not required whereas "so" is required which makes the first option incorrect.
Therefore "about" is totally not required whereas "so" is required which makes the first option incorrect.

We use about after noun, but not after the verb.

Discuss is a transitive verb and therefore takes a direct object. We need not use any word after discuss.

Discuss = describing object.
About = character of object.
Those are nearly similar meaning. So, no need to use one after another.
About = character of object.
