Explanation

At the start of the Korean War in 1950, North Korea had a large, well-equipped military and a major advantage in troop strength over South Korea. Syngman Rhee led South Korea, Douglas MacArthur was a United Nations commander, and the United Nations supported South Korea rather than North Korea. Therefore, the correct choice is “North Korea had a huge number of troops.”
