                Was is used with single entity and were is used with prural entity. So, I think option B is not the correct answer.

                I think the group appointed for investigation suits better then investicating the case.

                "group" is a singular entity. therefore, "was" is correct.

                "group" is a singular entity. Therefore, "was" is correct.
I think thats wrong, because the case is the singular.
So "was" is the correct.

                Agree with Vertika and Rameshraja. Group is a single entity.

                Don't you people think that there should be a preposition after "investigating" ?

                Group is treated as a single entity.
It is a Common noun.
