Correct Answer: to discuss the project


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Explanation: The phrase "to discuss about the project" contains an unnecessary preposition "about" after "discuss". The verb discuss doesn't need an additional preposition like "about" in this context. It's more concise and grammatically correct to use "to discuss the project" without the extra preposition.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "They decided to have a meeting to discuss the project."
