In 1950, what event began the conflict on the Korean peninsula?

please help
I'd go with (B). It started when North Korea, under Kim Il Sung, invaded South Korea in a bid to unify the peninsula under one country. The rest of the answers all follow after that. The North Koreans were eventually pushed back from the South and UN forces pushed past the 38th parallel northwards. When the UN approached the Yalu river, the boundary between North Korea and China, China intervened and pushed the UN back.
