The correct choice is: UN forces were outnumbered and poorly supplied.
Brief context: after North Korea’s June 1950 invasion, UN (mostly U.S.) units were rushed in but were small, poorly equipped for immediate large-scale ground fighting in Korea, and were forced back to the Pusan Perimeter in the southeast. North Korean forces were initially successful, not overwhelmed. The war didn’t expand beyond Korea until China intervened later (October 1950). South Korea did request and accept UN/US assistance.
