Discuss is an intransitive verb, so it does not need a preposition such as about.
The use of so is ok here.
'discuss' 'reach' and 'order' are not followed by prepositions.

Afer the words such as describe or discussion there is no need to use the word "about".

But how discussed and found can be in the same sentence as both are past tense? Explain me.

Nisha said:   6 years ago
I think here A is the answer because it should be in present perfect tense.

i.e. We had discussed the problem so thoroughly.
