D. The Vietnam War ended in a decisive Communist victory, while the Korean War did not

The Korean War basically ended up where it started and is still technically going on. The dividing line on the 38th parallel still exists. They are in a stalemate. On the other hand, the Vietnam War was won by Communist North Vietnam. When the United States pulled out of the war after seemingly making a truce between North and South Vietnam, the North Vietnamese Vietminh went back on their promise and crushed the democratic South Vietnamese.
