"about" is use before any topic so it is in right place but thoroughly @ means complete but not deeply.
So there no need to write "so".

Option a is correct.
Because no need to use 'about' after discuss, also no need of so before thoroughly. Because its already so many times.
The correct is "we discussed the problem thoroughly".

The correct is "we discussed the problem thoroughly".

"About", identifies a topic. In option A, "problem" is specific and does not denote a topic. Hence option A is correct. Option C is not concise but it is grammatically correct.
