This is the correct answer. To "discard (an idea)" is to reject it. It can also mean "to throw away". Example: I discarded the TV and got a new digital flat screen one. Susie says this because she has discovered, as Bruno says, that the logo design is sexually ambiguous.
This is incorrect. Susie doesn't want to abandon the design selection process, she wants to reject one of the designs.
This is incorrect. To "discard (an idea)" does not mean that one is favourable to it.
This is incorrect. To "discard (an idea)" does not mean that one wants to change it.
