A) China entered the war in defense of North Korea.

Explanation:

When China entered the war in defense of North Korea, it changed the course of the Korean War. The United States had almost defeated North Korea when China entered the war and drove US forces back past the 38th parallel. The United States and China stayed in a battle at that boundary line until a ceasefire was struck.
