Explanation

The Hunter Commission, officially known as the Disorders Inquiry Committee, was appointed by the Government of India on October 14, 1919. It was established to investigate the events surrounding the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, which occurred on April 13, 1919, in Amritsar. The commission was chaired by Lord William Hunter and was tasked with looking into the causes of the disturbances in Punjab and the subsequent military action taken by Brigadier General Dyer. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because the Black Hole incident occurred in 1756, the Uprising of 1857 took place in the mid-19th century, and the Partition of Bengal happened in 1905, all of which predated the 1919 massacre and this specific commission.
