The immediate cause of the Korean War was the North Korean invasion of South Korea. So the correct answer would be option 2: The North invaded the South.

To arrive at this answer, you can study the historical context of the Korean War, which took place from 1950 to 1953. In 1945, Korea was liberated from Japanese control following World War II and subsequently divided into two zones of occupation: the Soviet-backed North Korea and the U.S.-backed South Korea.

Tensions between North and South Korea rose, with each side having different political ideologies and aspirations. On June 25, 1950, North Korean forces, supported by the Soviet Union, launched a surprise attack across the 38th parallel (the dividing line between the two countries) and invaded South Korea. This act of aggression triggered an armed conflict that later escalated into the Korean War.

Therefore, it was the invasion by North Korea into South Korea that served as the immediate cause of the Korean War.
