Discuss, demand, describe, tell, order, reach, resemble in that word do not follow any preposition.

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

Deepika said:   8 years ago
Option A is correct as we don't need to use 'about' here. But there is no problem with 'so' in option A.

Gsk said:   8 years ago
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.
