Good Morning!
D) a war instigated by one or more powers that do not actively participate
A proxy war is a conflict model based on third-party use for the real clash. There is no clear evidence of their involvement in combat among those involved, but funding is usually provided by those concerned so that others can wage war in their place. This type of war was frequent during the Cold War, like the Korean War, which had a proxy period.
