The correct answer to this question would be alternative A)"Harry Truman."

Harry S. Truman was the 33rd president of the United States of America, and he was the one in office during the Korean War.

He wished to avoid atomic confrontation against Russia. Douglas MacArthur was actually inclined to using nukes, and said that the decision of using them or not should be his, and no the the president's.
