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.

Discussed : Past participle and past tense is the same. So whenever we have this fact about something done in the past, we use past per tense and past participle use have/has for any perfect tense. Also no need of "So" or "about".

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

No need to use "so" before thoroughly.

No need of about after "discuss" because if we are discussing any matter so, It automatically means that we always discuss "about" the matter. "About" is Understood in this case So no Need to use "about.

I think A is the correct answer because about is use to describe a wide correlated problem not problem for exam. 2nd is so decide the effort we have made to discuss.
