 Your choice:
A: ♦6 - A Club or a Spade lead would be too dangerous; the risk of giving away a trick is too high.

Lead a Diamond from your five-card suit. With five small cards, lead the second-best, to show your partner you don't have an honor in the suit.

 Your choice:
A: ♣5 - A doubleton Ace makes for a bad lead; if your partner doesn't have the King, it could be catastrophic.

You need to lead from the smallest side-suit honor you have: the ♣Q.

 Your choice:

♦ K 8 5 2
♣ Q 7 3

 Your choice:
A: ♣3 - Same hand, but a different sequence. There is a big difference here: West has not promised a fit.

If you lead a trump, you could blow a trick. Underlead a side-suit honor instead. It's not really risky, since East has a weak hand.
