Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: Jallianwala Bagh massacre

Explanation: āœ… Correct Answer: C) Jallianwala Bagh massacre šŸ“š Explanation: The Hunter Commission (officially the Disorders Inquiry Committee) was appointed by the British government in late 1919 to investigate the brutal Jallianwala Bagh massacre in Amritsar.
