Problem means that should be about. Then why we need to put again a word 'about'. So that's answer. !

As per the concept, the word, "about" is not required. We need to use, about if the verb is, "Talk" instead of discuss. Discuss = Talk about.

Can anyone say why option C is not the answer?

About in the sentence is not needed its an unnecessary word therefore a is the answer.

The word "thoroughly" is complete in itself that there is no use of writing "so" with it.

The verb is usually followed by a direct object, rather than by a preposition so "about (preposition) " after "discuss (verb) " is incorrect.

Yes. Since "European" is a word starting with a "Consonant sound (ya)", it must only be "a European".

@Shivi is right we don't use about just after the discuss/describe/illustrate.

Discuss/describe/illustrate is never followed by "About".
