The correct answer to the question is option 2, the Hunter Committee. This committee was appointed by the British Government to investigate the massacre in Jallianwala Bagh.

The Welby Commission, mentioned in option 1, was not appointed to investigate the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. This commission was set up to inquire into the financial condition of the Indian railways.

The Simon Commission, mentioned in option 3, was not related to the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. It was formed in 1927 to recommend constitutional reforms for India.

The Butler Committee, mentioned in option 4, was also not appointed to investigate the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. This committee was established in 1927 to assess the working of the constitutional reforms introduced in India.

Therefore, the Hunter Committee was the specific commission appointed by the British Government to investigate the Jallianwala Bagh massacre.
