This is a classic case of 'garbage in, garbage out.' If the discount rate is off, everything else is going to be off too. I'd say option E is the way to go - not enough info to answer this one accurately.

Underestimating the discount rate? Yikes, that's like trying to drive with the parking brake on. Option C seems to be the right answer here - the NPV will go up, but the IRR will go down.

I agree, underestimating the discount rate can really throw off your calculations.

I think correcting the underestimation will increase the NPV.
