In the 14th Asian Games, held in Busan, South Korea in September-October 2002, China won the largest number of medals. The question asks which country was placed second after China in terms of medals won.

Option 1: Japan

Option 2: South Korea

Option 3: Thailand

Option 4: India

The correct answer is option 2, South Korea. This means that South Korea won the second-largest number of medals in the 14th Asian Games.

It is important to note that while Japan did participate in the 14th Asian Games, they did not win the second-largest number of medals. Similarly, neither Thailand nor India achieved the second position in terms of medal count. Therefore, options 1, 3, and 4 are incorrect.

The answer provided aligns with the information given in the question, and there is no need for an alert. South Korea was indeed placed second after China in the 14th Asian Games.
