The correct response is:

**Fearing an American invasion in China, Mao Zedong dispatched troops to support North Korea’s armies.**

General MacArthur's landing at Inchon and the subsequent push toward the Chinese border brought the U.S. and U.N. forces close to China, which heightened fears of an American invasion. In response to this threat, Mao Zedong decided to send Chinese troops to support North Korea, significantly altering the dynamics of the Korean War. This intervention led to a major shift in the conflict, resulting in a prolonged and bloody stalemate.
