There is a redundancy error in "so thoroughly".
Uma said:   8 years ago
Because thoroughly is already an adverb, and so add something so to comparative degrees are not valid.

A is correct, talking about option C, it even start with lowercase which is also an error.

We don't use preposition before/after certain verbs investigate, discuss, ordered etc.
Akhil P Unnikrishnan said:   8 years ago
A as it is a superfluous statement, we don't need about.

The word about should not come after the word discuss.
Arpan kumar said:   8 years ago
Actually, it is the rule of English grammar that we can't use the word "about " with the "discuss ".
ASHOK said:   8 years ago
A is correct. i.e, it has a grammatical mistake. So is not needed infront of thoroughly.
