These types of temporary committees are generally known as "select committees," since they are meant to do only one "select" thing, and are not meant to last after a reasonable conclusion has been drawn.

Answer from: esnyderquintero

The correct answer is A) select committees.

On April 20, 2010, an explosion on the Deepwater Horizon oil rig caused the oil to begin gushing into the Gulf of Mexico. Soon thereafter, a committee was formed to investigate. These types of temporary committees are known as select committees.

When a select committee is formed in the United States Congress, generally is because there is a particular issue to attend. The situation at hand is far beyond the functions of a standing committee and needs for more in-depth and specialization to get the appropriate response for the specific problem. When the situation is solved and there are no more things to do, the select committee is dissolved.
