Answer: Option 4 — Improve the relationship between the Government of India and the Indian States.
The Butler Committee was appointed in December 1927 under the chairmanship of Sir Harcourt Butler to examine the relations between the British Government of India and the Indian Princely States.

The committee's work was significant in defining the political relationship between the paramount power and native states during the British Raj.
