A. The group of friends came to a consensual agreement to see a movie together.

This is the best answer because the adjective "consensual" describes the agreement they made, that is to say, a mutual one, in which all participated and accepted the decision. Furthermore, the elections of words, as well as their positions (first the subject, then the verb, and lastly, the complement), makes the sentence shorter and easier to read than the other options.

In my view, the best line to avoid repetition is C. The group of friends came to an agreement about the movie they would see together.

Indeed, it avoids most of the previous wording while at the same time preserving the meaning and scope of the sentence. It includes the notion that they came to this agreement together and that the agreement was about which film to watch.
