The correct option is A


He led the United Nations forces that defended South Korea in 1950-1951 against North Korea's attempt to unify the country by force. MacArthur was relieved of command by President Harry S. Truman in April 1951, for his public disagreements with presidential politics.

MacArthur made his last public appearance, in reading a speech in the United States Congress, interrupted by thirty ovations from the congressmen. In what would be his farewell speech, he said: "'The old soldiers never die; And like the old soldiers of the ballad, now I close my military career, and I simply vanish - an old soldier who just tried to do his duty as God gave him to understand.
