The Korean War is an example of a proxy war because:

A. The United States supported South Korea, while China backed North Korea, even though the United States and China didn't fight each other directly.

- This statement accurately captures the essence of a proxy war. In the Korean War, the United States, along with other Western nations, supported South Korea, while China supported North Korea. The conflict involved the superpowers indirectly through their support for opposing sides rather than direct military confrontation between the United States and China.
