We use "about" after "discussion" for example we had a long discussion about the problem.
But when we write"discuss", we don't use "about" after it.
For example: we discussed the problem.
Trick is : a discussion about something to discuss something.

Problem here is not specific, I mean what kind of problem is it?
They didn't mention the specific problem, it seems like an examination problem but what types of problem, reading issue, studying the issue, or maybe some other issues. We don't know the specifics problem that why using the article "the" in the sentence is incorrect. We should use the article "a" instead of "the".

That's because when we write the sentence as"we discussed the problem thoroughly" the meaning of the sentence is clearly understood. There is no need of 4 us to use "about" or "so". They don't add any extra meaning to the sentence.

If you guys notice the options carefully you can see that the first three options constitutes one complete sentence. So the correct sentence would be "We discussed the problem so thoroughly on the eve of the examination that I found it very easy to work it out.".
Therefore "about" is totally not required whereas "so" is required which makes the first option incorrect.
Therefore "about" is totally not required whereas "so" is required which makes the first option incorrect.

"About" is okay but "so" is unnecessary. The word "thoroughly" already explained the depth of that verb.

@All.
Here no need to write " about". Because we write "about" for some person or things and discuss is neither a person nor things.
