The answer is A.
The error is the use of "about" after "discussed".
The verb "discuss" is a transitive verb that does not require a preposition after it; "we discussed the problem" is the correct construction.

The Answer is 'A' Correct because “discuss” never takes “about”.
“Discuss” is already a transitive verb, so it goes directly with the object.
That’s why the correct form is “We discussed the problem”, not “We discussed about the problem”.

I think answer c is correct because here "it" repeated two times, which doesn't need. Correct me, If I am wrong.

The error is in part (A).
The verb "discussed" is a transitive verb, meaning it can take a direct object without needing a preposition like "about". The correct sentence would be "We discussed the problem so thoroughly.
